Octopus and ajoarriero are pillars of Spanish cuisine, a combination that awakens the senses with a symphony of flavours. In this recipe, we fuse these elements to create an extraordinary dish that will captivate the most demanding palates during your festive celebrations or on any special occasion. With the unmistakable quality of L'Autèntic products, you will be immersed in a unique gastronomic experience.
Ingredients:
1 fresh octopus (around 1 kg)
4 fresh artichokes
1 jar of L'Autèntic Ajoarriero (garlic sauce)
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Follow the step-by-step instructions:
Preparation of the octopus:
Carefully clean the octopus, making sure to remove any traces of impurities or sand.
In a large pot of boiling water, dip the octopus three times for a few seconds to help the legs roll up. Once done, immerse completely and cook over medium heat for about 40-45 minutes, until tender. Drain and set aside.
Preparation of the artichokes:
Clean the artichokes, removing the tougher outer leaves and cutting off the tips. Cut them into quarters and place them in a bowl with water and a few drops of lemon juice to prevent oxidation.
In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the artichokes for 10–12 minutes, until tender but still firm. Drain and set aside.
To finish the dish:
On a large plate or serving platter, generously pour the Ajoarriero L’Autèntic as a base to enhance the flavours.
Once the base is in place, add the octopus and accompany it with the artichokes, creating both a visual and flavourful harmony.
And if you’d like to add a final touch…
You can garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley to elevate its presentation and add a hint of freshness.
