The octopus used here was frozen, and had been partly prepared before being frozen which I think helped with regards to sucker removal and cleaning. So this was v easy in the event.
Prepare octopus as per above video. Cut into individual tentacles if large. Cut head into pieces and score with shallow diagonal cuts.
Place in a large saucepan with 1 onion, halved, 1 whole clove garlic, generous olive oil, 2 springs rosemary (or other), 1 glass white wine, no salt, and a bare minimum of water, if required. It will release quite a lot of water as it cooks.
Bring very slowly to a simmer, then braise very gently indeed for 1.5 hrs. Adjust the heat and how ajar the lid is as required.
Remove from liquid. Allow to dry briefly. Marinate in orange juice, olive oil and chopped rosemary. Grill on BBQ. Season before serving.
