Grilled Octopus and Roasted Baby Potatoes

Method

Preparation and Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare 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 from the pot and let cool.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Octopus

    Once cooled, cut the octopus into manageable pieces. In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, the juice of the lemon, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Add the octopus pieces and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Roast the Baby Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Wash the baby potatoes and toss them with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for about 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy.

  4. 4

    Grill the Octopus

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the grilled octopus with the roasted baby potatoes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
