Default Baby octopus w/ baby spinach

Ingredients:
1lb baby octopus (found it in the frozen section of Whole Foods)
juice of 4 small limes
juice of 1 lemon
zest of 1 lemon
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1tsp dry oregano
5 cloves minced garlick
salt /pepper to taste
baby spinach
1 bay leaf

bring pot of water to a boil, place in bay leaf and baby octopus (I put it in frozen). reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 1 hour. combine herbs, spices,lime/lemon juice and oil. remove octopus and run under cold water to stop cooking process. place octopus and marinade in a zip lock bag, remove as much air as posssible and refrigerat for 3hrs or over night. Heat skillet on high and place marinade and octopus into the skillet, turn heat to med and saute for 5-10 min until octopi are heated through and begin crisping up. place baby spinach on a large plate and place contents of skillet directly on the sinach. Enjoy!

If using mature octopus boil for 1/2 to 2 hours
