  • Pulpo a la Gallega – Spanish Octopus Tapas

    A Galician coastal treasure – tender octopus slices dressed with smoked paprika, olive oil, and sea salt. Traditionally served over potatoes, this dish is all about simplicity and bold flavors.

    Ingredients (Serves 2):
    • 1 small octopus (approx. 1kg), cleaned
    • 2 medium potatoes, boiled and sliced
    • 1 tsp smoked paprika
    • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    • Coarse sea salt

    Instructions:

    1. Boil the octopus until tender (approx. 45–60 mins). Let rest and slice.
    2. Layer potato slices on a plate, top with octopus slices.
    3. Drizzle olive oil, sprinkle paprika and sea salt. Serve warm.

    Spanish Tip: For authentic taste, boil the octopus three times by dipping it in and out of hot water before cooking fully – it keeps the skin intact.
