Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Octopus

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the octopus and cook for about 45 minutes to 1 hour until tender. Remove from water and let cool. Once cooled, cut the tentacles into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Cook the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters. In a separate pot, boil salted water and add the potatoes. Cook for about 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Romesco Sauce

    If using store-bought romesco, skip this step. Otherwise, blend roasted red peppers, almonds, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, and spices until smooth.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sauté Octopus

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Then, add the cut octopus and paprika, cooking for about 5 minutes until slightly crispy.

  2. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour in the white wine and stir to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes until the alcohol evaporates.

  3. 6

    Finish the Dish

    Add the boiled potatoes to the skillet, gently tossing everything together. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the octopus and potato mixture on a plate, drizzling with romesco sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color.
