Cut out the eyes and mouth of the octopus.

Cover the dish tightly with a sheet of waxed paper or foil tied around the top with string.

Put the dish over a very low heat between 1 and 2 hours, according to the size of the octopus.

When they are tender, drain them, season with additional oil, salt, green pepper, rosemary leaves and parsley.
