Warm the oil slightly, then dip the octopus until the tentacles become curly.

Add 1/2 glass of homemade cider to the pan and cover with a lid.

Cook for about 30 minutes, then place the octopus in the fridge for later use.

Cut the octopus into long pieces, keeping the tentacles longer.

Wrap the octopus in plastic wrap to create a cylindrical shape for easier slicing.

Place the wrapped octopus in the freezer to firm it up.

Once firm, slice the octopus using a slicer machine for serving.

Garnish with lemon zest, parsley, black pepper, and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.
