Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Octopus

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

  2. 2

    Make the Romesco Sauce

    In a blender, combine roasted red peppers, garlic, almonds, paprika, olive oil, and salt. Blend until smooth and adjust seasoning to taste.

  3. 3

    Grill the Scallions

    Toss scallions with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill over medium heat until charred and tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Grill the Octopus

    Once the octopus is cool, cut it into smaller pieces. Brush with olive oil, sprinkle with paprika, salt, and pepper. Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side until charred.

  5. 5

    Serve

    On a plate, spread the romesco sauce, arrange the grilled octopus and top with charred scallions. Garnish with extra almonds if desired.
