1 package of precooked chilled octopus
2 potatoes
1 large onion
100 ml of white wine
100 ml of beer
Juice of ½ lemon
3 garlic cloves
1 bay leaf
Extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt
If you want to give it a smoky flavor, sprinkle some smoked paprika on top, although the traditional recipe for baked octopus only has lemon for flavoring. You can also add more vegetables to the octopus recipe, such as 1 brunoise-cut ripe tomato or red pepper sliced into small pieces.
Octopus and wine are a match made in heaven. If you want to delight your guests or simply enjoy a wonderful pairing, this baked octopus will go really well with a Fino sherry wine, a Manzanilla sherry wine or an aged white wine.
If you like simple, healthy octopus recipes, you should also try the grilled octopus, the portuguese style octopus or this delicious fried octopus recipe.
