INGREDIENTS

  • 1 foodhaus Moroccan octopus, 1.8-2.8kg
  • ½ cup Chorio extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 bay leaves*
  • 1 tbsp Maldon peppercorns
  • 750g foodhaus Parisian potatoes
  • ¼ cup Chorio extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

METHOD

1.      In a large pot with boiling water add olive oil, bay leaves and peppercorns.

2.      Add the octopus and cook for about 40-50 minutes until tender.

3.      The time will depend on the size and tenderness of the octopus.

4.      To test its tenderness, insert a knife where the legs and head meet. If it goes in easily, it's ready to eat.

6.      Boil potatoes for 12-15 minutes.

7.      Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool.

9.      Arrange the potato slices on a large serving platter. 

10.    Place the octopus on top.

11.    Drizzle with olive oil.

12.    Season with salt, pepper and sweet paprika.
