Equipment
- 1 Pressure Cooker
- 1 Skillet
Ingredients
- 24 oz Frozen baby octopus
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 garlic cloves
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- salt and pepper freshly grinded to taste
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- handful parsley or cilantro
- grape tomatoes or vegetables optional
Instructions
- Place the baby octopi in a pressure cooker and add enough water to cover them. Cook on high pressure for 12 minutes. When time is up, release the pressure manually. Remove octopi from water and dry them as much as possible.
- In a medium skillet, add olive oil and wait for it to get hot. Add octopi and sauté them for about 2 minutes or until they start to char a little bit. Add butter and garlic and sauté until pale gold. Add seasonings (oregano, paprika, pepper, and salt) and sauté a bit longer. Then add lime juice and stir everything to blend all the flavors.
- Transfer octopi to a serving plate and add parsley or cilantro and your favorite vegetables. I used grape tomatoes in these photos.
Notes
If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can cook it in a regular pan. It will take longer, but it works as well.
