Poached octopus

Instructions
You will have purchased the octopus called "Veraci" which are those with two rows of suckers on the tentacles. Beat them on a marble slab and clean them removing the bladder, the beak and eyes. Wash them in plenty of water and, when they are well drained, place them in a pan with half a glass of oil, half a hot pepper and the peeled tomatoes, without seeds and cut into pieces. Cover the pan with a sheet of parchment paper and then with the cover, because during cooking steam must not be released. Cook over low heat for an hour, shaking occasionally the container, then add a chopped clove of garlic and a sprig of parsley. Taste and salt if necessary. Replace the lid and cook for another 20 minutes. Serve the octopus in the cooking pot.
