Galician Style Octopus
I don’t claim to be an expert on Spanish cuisine but I know delicious, simple food when it’s on my plate. Octopus, I know my way around and the Spaniards know how to prepare and cook octopus well.
Back in 2019, I spent an overnight/layover in Barcelona and met up with an blogger friend who resides there. We enjoyed many plates of tapas, including Pulpo Gallego aka Galician Style Octopus.
Although this dish’s origin’s is from northwestern Spain (Gallicia), you are sure to find it throughout Spain (probably at most Spanish restaurants around the world).
Key is cooking your octopus to fork-tender then the rest is pretty straightforward: boiled potatoes, high quality extra-virgin olive oil and some salt, pepper and sweet paprika.
Less is more – don’t be tempted to complicate the dish with extra ingredients. Maybe a squeeze of lemon.
