Execution

1.Boil the octopus in vinegar, without water, and if you want, add a whole onion, 4 bay leaves and a whole carrot, just for the smell.
2.Drain the octopus and grind it, keeping a few tentacles (just to feel it).
3.Put it in a bowl and add the ground onions, the bread soaked, drained and beaten in a blender.
4.As much as the volume of the octopus, so should the onion be with the bread.
5.Let the onion be a little more than the bread.
6.Add the remaining ingredients and knead well.
7.We leave it in the fridge for a while, so that it takes a while to set.
8.Then form round meatballs, flour them and fry them in hot oil.
