Lime Herb Buttered Octopus

The one time I came home with a large octopus tentacle and it was my first time ever cooking octopus so here’s a very simple recipe.

Ingredients:

• 500g octopus

• 2 tbsp butter

• 1 tbsp oregano (or any herb you like)

• 1 lime zest and its juice (you can use lemon too)

• A sprig of thyme

• Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

1. Clean the octopus and boil it in water for 20 - 25 minutes. Cook until tender. This depends on how thick the octopus is.

2. In a hot pan or grill, add the butter, herb, lime zest and juice.

3. Cook the octopus until it is covered in the zesty herbed butter and add a sprig of thyme.

4. Add salt and pepper to taste.
