Method

Octopus

  1. 1

    Prepare the Octopus

    Start by cleaning the octopus under cold running water to remove any sand or debris.

  2. 2

    Cook the Octopus

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

  3. 3

    Grill the Octopus

    Once the octopus has cooled, cut it into desired pieces. Heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Season with salt and black pepper. Grill the octopus pieces for about 3-4 minutes on each side until charred. Squeeze fresh lemon over the top before serving.

Romesco Sauce

    Blend the Romesco Sauce

    In a food processor, combine roasted red bell peppers, almonds, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and smoked paprika. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Skordalia

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

  2. 6

    Make the Skordalia

    In a food processor, combine boiled potatoes, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Chermoula
