Octopus stew with chorizo and white beans
Fish Tales octopus is delicious on its own, but put it in a hearty stew with chorizo, tomatoes, and white beans and you'll have made the most excellent comfort food!
Don't toss the octopus liquid! It's packed with flavour.
Heat the olive oil in a stew pan. Cook the chorizo for 2-3 minutes until 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.
