Galician Octopus

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb octopus
• 1 lb potatoes
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp paprika
• 2 cloves garlic
• ¼ cup pickled peppers
• 1 tsp salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the 1.5 lb octopus and simmer gently until tender, about 40 minutes; a knife should slide in easily.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, peel and slice the 1 lb potatoes into 1/2 inch rounds. Boil in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes; drain and set aside.

3. 3

   Once octopus is tender, remove from water and let cool slightly. Slice into 1/2 inch pieces.

4. 4

   In a large skillet, heat 3 tbsp olive oil over medium. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, without browning.

5. 5

   Add the sliced octopus and potatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle with 1 tsp paprika and 1 tsp salt. Toss gently to coat and heat through, about 3 minutes.

6. 6

   Transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with 1/4 cup chopped pickled peppers and a drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve warm.
