Steps:
- Wash the octopus inside and out in cold water and place in a large kettle. Add the bay leaves and 1 tablespoon salt and cover with cold water. Heat to boiling over medium-high flame. Simmer over medium heat until the thick part of a tentacle can easily be sliced, about 40 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and cool the octopus in the water for 1 hour.
- While the octopus cools, prepare the marinade: combine the olive oil, 6 tablespoons lemon juice, parsley, chopped capers, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Whisk until creamy and set aside.
- Lift the octopus into a colander in a sink and rinse each tentacle under cold water while rubbing off the skin and suckers. Cut off the tentacles and reserve; turn the body inside out and rinse well.
- Dissolve the gelatin in 1/2 cup boiling water and stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Stir in 1/2 cup cold water. Place the tentacles of one octopus in a rectangular terrine and pour the gelatin mixture over it. Refrigerate until set, about an hour.
- Slice the remaining tentacles and bodies into bite-size pieces and place them in the bowl of marinade. Toss to coat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- To serve, invert molded tentacles onto a platter and slice. Arrange the bowl of marinated octopus alongside, garnish with the oregano and extra capers. Serve with olives and sun-dried tomatoes.

GREEK MARINATED OCTOPUS IN OIL AND VINEGAR
Steps:
- Gather the ingredientsl.
- Under running water, remove and discard the ink sac, stomach, and eyes from the large head cavity of the octopus bodies. (if you're squeamish, wear rubber gloves). Remove the beak, at the bottom of the head where it joins the tentacles, with a sharp knife.
- Place the whole octopus in a pot with enough boiling water to cover generously. When it resumes boiling, cook for 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat, and drain. When cool enough to handle, rub the octopus with your hands under running water to remove the dark outer membrane. This comes off fairly easily, and if it doesn't all come off, that's all right.
- Place the octopus in a pressure cooker or Instant Pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, seal, and when pressure is reached, lower the heat and cook for 10 minutes. If using an Instant Pot, use quick pressure release, remove the octopus, and drain in a colander. Reserve the cooking water in the pressure cooker.
- When the octopus is cool enough to handle, cut it into bite-size pieces.
- Place the octopus pieces into a bowl with 3 1/2 ounces of reserved cooking water saved from the pressure cooker, 3 1/2 ounces of vinegar, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and mix well. This should be enough to completely cover the octopus; if it doesn't, make a little more marinade.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 5 to 6 hours before serving.
- To serve, remove the octopus from the marinade (which may become slightly gel-like), drizzle with more olive oil and sprinkle with oregano. As a side dish, marinated octopus goes well with fakes ( lentil soup ), perhaps some cauliflower, and Greek olives. As a meze (appetizer), it's perfect with ouzo.

Steps:
- In a large casserole combine octopus, carrots, celery, onion, bay leaves, salt, pepper, thyme, red wine and water. Bring to a slow boil and simmer 45 minutes, or until octopus is very tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from heat and let octopus cool in its broth.
- Set aside 1 1/3 cups of broth for sauce. When octopus is cool enough to handle, remove it from broth and rub it well to remove purplish skin. Rinse tentacles in broth as they are cleaned. Drain octopus and transfer to a large bowl.
- Make marinade: in a small bowl combine marinade ingredients. Pour over octopus and toss to coat. Marinate, covered and refrigerated, for at least 24 hours, and up to 3 days.
- Make sauce: in a small saucepan combine strained reserved broth, olive oil, lemon juice and vinegar. Reduce by half over high heat. Remove pan from heat and whisk in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. Stir in parsley. Keep warm.
- Prepare a charcoal broiler. Drain tentacles and pat dry. Grill 4 minutes, turning frequently, until lightly charred and heated through. Serve 2 tentacles per person, with sauce spooned over, garnished with parsley and lemon wedges.
MARINATED OCTOPUS
This is an adopted recipe and should be made with larger, older, not itty bitty baby octopus. The flavour of vinegar and lemon here are strong and not to everyone's taste. If you are fond of tako sashimi, this is not for you. But if Mediterranean fish salads are your thing, this is authentic.

Steps:
- Fill a large pot 1/2 full with water. Add 2 tablespoons kosher salt, peppercorns, and the wine cork; bring to a boil over high heat.
- Meanwhile, place octopus on a cutting board. Using a wooden spoon or meat mallet, pound the octopus multiple times, starting in the middle and moving down each tentacle to tenderize the meat.
- Dip tentacles into the boiling water 3 times, holding them in the boiling water 2 to 3 seconds each time, until the tentacles curl up. Submerge entire octopus in the boiling water. Bring water back to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until octopus is fork-tender, 45 to 60 minutes. Remove from heat and cool for 30 minutes.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Grill octopus until charred on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Remove from heat, slice into pieces, and place on a serving platter. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, squeeze lemon over top, sprinkle with parsley, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
