FAQ
How long does cuttlefish and octopus take to soften?
Octopus usually needs 30 to 45 minutes of cooking depending on size, and cuttlefish about 20 to 30 minutes over low heat. Cooking them slowly keeps them from turning tough or rubbery.
What rice for rice with cuttlefish and octopus?
A short-grain rice such as bomba works well, soaking up the flavour of the sofrito and seafood without overcooking. A little paprika and saffron add colour and aroma.

Freezing it first helps break down the fibres, or cook it gently for long enough. Dipping it in boiling water three times is a traditional trick to keep the skin from splitting.
