If you've never tried octopus, this is a great way to start. Delicious, tender and mouthwatering. This is truly one of my favorite ways to eat octopus.

Categories     Octopus

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs octopus
1 onion
2 bay leaves
2 larger potatoes, boiled and sliced diagonally into rounds (about 1/2" in thickness or less)
1 teaspoon hot paprika, to taste (about, or more)
sea salt
extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Fill a large soup pot with water, enough to submerge the octopus.
  • Cut onion in half and add to water, along with the bay leaves.
  • Some will say that also adding a wine cork (yes a wine cork) will ensure a tender octopus.
  • You are within your rights to use your culinary judgement on that particular point.
  • hehe Bring the water to boiling, and submerge the octopus 3 or 4 times, to scald it basically.
  • Bring the water back to a boil and place the octopus in the water.
  • This time we will leave it in there.
  • Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook the octopus 20 minutes-- a larger octopus will require longer cooking time-- up to 45 minutes.
  • Remove from water, and slice diagonally into rounds (ovals really).
  • The slices should be about 1/2" thick.
  • Presentation: Arrange potato rounds on a plate or wooden serving tablet and top each with a slice of octopus.
  • The potato should be about the same size as the octopus slices, if not, then cut potatoes accordingly.
  • Liberally sprinkle paprika and sea salt over all and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.
  • You may wish to garnish with chopped parsley.

  • Cut the head off the octopus at its base. Discard it or use it for something else, if you can find a use for it.
  • To keep the skin on the octopus while you cook it, it's a good idea to "shock" it first by dipping it a few times in boiling water. Boil your water and dip the octopus into the water for 10-20 seconds, and then remove it. Repeat the process twice more until the legs of the octopus curl up.
  • Now you can either cook it over the stovetop or in your slow cooker. If you plan to cook it on the stovetop, add the octopus to your boiling water. For the slow cooker method, add your octopus to your slow cooker and fill with enough water to cover it.
