Octopus Confit

1. 1

   Wash octopus well.

2. 2

   Combine with olive oil, garlic, chilies, thyme and large pinch of salt in saucepan, so that oil completely covers octopus (add more oil if necessary).

3. 3

   Place the saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to very slow simmer (if you have a thermometer, the ideal temperature is about 190 degrees).

4. 4

   Adjust heat to maintain this slow simmer, and cook until octopus is tender, for an hour or more (check with point of sharp knife).

5. 5

   Remove garlic and octopus to a platter; discard thyme and oil, or reserve oil for another use.

6. 6

   Serve warm or cool, drizzled with soy sauce and lime juice.
