Octopus with Romesco Sauce and Capers

Method

Preparation and Cooking

1

Prepare the Octopus

In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the octopus and cook for about 45 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat and let cool in the cooking liquid.

2

Make the Romesco Sauce

In a blender, combine romesco sauce, garlic, smoked paprika, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.

3

Grill the Octopus

Once the octopus is cool, cut it into tentacles. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush octopus with olive oil and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until charred.

4

Serve

Arrange grilled octopus on a plate, drizzle with romesco sauce, and sprinkle with capers. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
