Preparation Steps

1

Prepare the Octopus

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the octopus for 40-50 minutes until tender. Remove and let it cool slightly.

2

Marinate

In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cut the octopus tentacles and marinate them in the mixture for at least 30 minutes.

3

Prepare Black Olive Purée

In a food processor, blend black olives with a little olive oil until smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

4

Cook Sweet Potatoes

Peel and cut sweet potatoes into thin slices. Toss with olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bake at 200°C (400°F) for about 25-30 minutes or until crispy.

5

Grill the Octopus

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated octopus for about 3-4 minutes on each side until slightly charred.

6

Serve

Plate the grilled octopus alongside the black olive purée and crispy sweet potatoes.
