OCTOPUS, GALICIAN STYLE



Octopus, Galician Style image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 octopus, about 3 pounds
Coarse salt
4 medium to large potatoes
Smoked pimentón
Olive oil

Steps:

  • Thaw octopus if necessary, either for 24 hours in refrigerator, or for a few hours in a couple of changes of cold water. With a scissors, remove skinny tips of tentacles and, cutting through webbing that connects them, separate the 8 tentacles and discard head. (Alternatively, you can cook the octopus whole and cut it up after cooking.)
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it well. Put octopus in water and, when it returns to boil, cover and adjust heat so water simmers gently. Cook an hour or so, until octopus is tender. Meanwhile peel potatoes and cut into 2-inch slices. Lower them into water and cook until tender, about a half hour. Remove if they're done before octopus, and keep warm.
  • When octopus is tender, remove it and drain. Put potatoes on a platter and cut octopus into pieces (again, a scissors is easiest); top potatoes with it. Drizzle all liberally with pimentón, olive oil and coarse salt, and serve hot or warm.

  • 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.
