You can store Stewed Octopus for up to 2 days in an airtight container in the fridge.

You can enrich the sauce with capers, black olives, green olives, chopped chili pepper, etc.

You can accompany the stewed octopus simply with croutons or bruschetta slices. Alternatively, you can use the sauce created in cooking to dress pasta.

You can use either fresh or frozen octopus. In any case, it is advisable to freeze fresh octopus for at least 1-2 days: this will make it more tender.

You can cut the octopus into pieces before cooking.
