How to cook deliciously - Octopus Salad with Potatoes and Green Beans

1. Stage

Fill a large saucepan with water, add the onion, carrot, celery, and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Add the octopus and simmer over moderate heat for 1 hour, until tender.

In a large bowl, combine the octopus with the potatoes, green beans, garlic, parsley, and olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.
