Ingredients

2 – 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

8 corn tortillas

1 teaspoon lemon/lime juice

1 tablespoon Sriracha, Tabasco or other chili hot sauce

3 tablespoons mayo

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice

3 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro

1/4 cup chopped red onion

1 cup chopped cucumber

1 1/2 cups chopped fresh pineapple

1 tablespoon sesame oil

Water for boiling

8 6-inch octopus tentacles, about 1-inch round

Step by step

  1. Add octopus to a large 8 quart stockpot (KitchenAid® Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Cookware). Add 4 quarts water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil for 20 – 30 minutes, or until octopus is done. After octopus is done, remove from water and place on a plate.

  2. Combine all ingredients for pineapple salsa to a medium mixing bowl. Mix well and set aside.

  3. Combine all ingredients for spicy mayo and mix well. Set aside.

  4. Heat a medium skillet (KitchenAid® Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Cookware) over medium heat. Drizzle pan with sesame oil. Add octopus tentacles and lightly sear on each side. About 1 – 2 minutes per side.

  5. In another medium skillet (KitchenAid® Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Cookware) heated over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon vegetable oil. Add small corn tortillas to skillet and lightly brown on each side, 1 – 2 minutes per side. Continue cooking all 8 tortillas, adding additional vegetable oil as needed.

  6. To serve tacos, place two tentacles on a fried tortilla and top with pineapple salsa and spicy mayonnaise.
