It is very simple - cooked octopus served with boiled potatoes, olive oil and sweet Spanish paprika. INGREDIENTS:
PREPARATION:Cook OctopusTo cut down the cooking time for the octopus, freeze the octopus first. Then, remove it from the freezer and place it in large pot of boiling water and cook until soft enough to eat. This usually takes about 1 hour. Remove from water and allow to cool. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Cut into bit-size chunks. Note: If you find boiled octopus at a local ethnic or gourmet food store, this will cut down on the time it takes to prepare this dish. Simply remove from package, rinse and slice. Peel and Boil PotatoesRinse potatoes and clean with a vegetable brush. Fill a medium size pot half-full with water. Bring water to a boil over high heat. Boil the Potatoes until a fork goes in easily. Remove from heat and place under cold running water. Allow to cool, then peel the potatoes. Slice into rounds approximately 1/3-inch thick. Prepare Platter and ServeArrange potato slices on a serving platter. Place octopus on top. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle sweet paprika over top and serve. Suggested Reading |
