Serves 1 hungry Zig

1 lb. octopus- cut up

3 potatoes – large chunks

1/2 cup yellow pepper- chunks

5 garlic cloves- smashed

1 TBsp paprika

2 TBsp cilantro- chopped

Dressing:

5 TBsp oil

3 TBsp rice vinegar

2 TBsp dried oregano

2 TBsp dried basil

1 TBsp Dijon mustard

1 1/2 TBsp lemon juice

Boil octopus for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, boil potatoes till tender and chill. One octopus has 15 minutes left, sautée potatoes and peppers until brown then add garlic and paprika and sautée for 3-5 minutes. Mix your dressing and strain the octopus and combine all and add the cilantro.

Simple. Octopus is tender and bit bity- I like it that way. The dressing is to die for !- use it for all your grilled or sautéed veggies!!
