Step by Step Instructions
  • Step 1: Prepare the octopus. Place the octopus in a saucepan with 1 glass of water and the vinegar. Let it boil on low heat for about 40 minutes, until very tender. Remove the octopus from the saucepan and wait for it to cool a bit, before you can cut it.
  • Step 2: When the octopus is not so hot anymore, cut it into large pieces. Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan. Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes until soft. After that, place the octopus and potatoes in the saucepan and sauté for another 10 minutes, until light brown.
  • Step 3: Finally, mix in the grated tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, pepper, sugar, paprika, cayenne pepper, anise, bay leaves and 2 glasses of water, until the food is covered. Cook on medium heat for about 45 minutes, until the potatoes and octopus are done and the sauce thickens.
  • Step 4: It is served hot, together with lasagne chips with paprika.
