boiling, dip octopus in and out 3 times so that the skin will not

poked with a fork. remove to a plate and cool, slice into 1/2" pieces.
To prepare sauce, saute pepper in oil until tender. Add onion and

boil, add salt and cayenne to taste.
Add octopus to sauce and simmer about 10-15 minutes. Serve hot with
rice or boiled diced potatoes.
