With the octopus still frozen I put it in a pressure cooker filled with water and a full onion. Cook it for about 20 minutes. Check it; if fork tender remove it right away, if not, cook a little longer but do check it every 5 minutes. I usually prefer to buy the baby octopus. Have you every checked Asian market or a fish market? They should have whole. Even here in the middle of the country (WI) I am able to find it.

Here in Oregon, I can only find it frozen, already cut into very small pieces. I'm a complete novice --- how long would you suggest I boil these small pieces? And, how do I know it is completely cooked? (I think I've been grossly overcooking, in an effort to not undercook.) I am excited to try them with paprika (another favorite of mine!).
