Octopus Nuggets

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Octopus

    Boil the octopus in salted water for about 30 minutes until tender. Drain and let cool before cutting into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Octopus Nuggets

    Dip each piece of octopus into the flour, then the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, making sure they are well covered.

  4. 4

    Fry the Nuggets

    Heat the cooking oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the octopus nuggets in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
