Galician Style Octopus

Method

Place all the spices in muslin and tie with thread, or simply tie it in a knot. Wash the potatoes and add them to a pot. Try to make sure they're all the same size and not too big. Add plenty of water, coarse salt and the muslin with the spices, bring to a boil, dip the cleaned octopus in three times, then cook over low heat. Remove the potatoes once cooked, the octopus may take a little longer, then turn off the heat when the octopus still has a few minutes to finish cooking, as it's good to let it rest a bit in the cooking water.
