Notes

For best results, use the freshest ingredients possible. If the octopus is too salty, ensure you rinse it well before preparation. You can substitute balsamic with red wine vinegar for a different flavor, and add crushed red pepper flakes for heat. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, and the flavors will meld together beautifully.
