Variation tip!
Don't throw away the octopus liquid! It's packed with flavor.
Heat the olive oil in a stew pan. Cook the chorizo for 2-3 minutes until it is crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same fat, cook the onion and garlic for 3 minutes over medium heat. Add the paprika powder and tomato paste, and cook for another minute.
Pour the octopus liquid into the pan and let it reduce for 2 minutes.
Add the canned tomatoes, bay leaf, and thyme. Let it simmer gently for 15 minutes.
Add the sliced octopus, chorizo, white beans, and lemon juice. Let it simmer for another 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with parsley and serve with crispy bread.
