Steps:
- If using fresh octopus, rinse it well and place in a heavy, nonreactive pot. Cook over medium heat, covered, for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the octopus is fork-tender, adding a few tablespoons of water as needed. If using frozen octopus, place it in the pot still frozen and cook over medium-low heat, turning frequently, until thawed. Remove from heat.
- Drain the octopus, reserving the cooking liquid, and cut it into bite-size pieces. Place in a serving bowl. Stir in a few tablespoons of the cooking liquid to thin the dip to sauce consistency. Pour over the octopus and cool to room temperature. Garnish with reserved capers and serve.
