Do so in whatever style you like best. Charcoal-grilled or in the oven. What matters is that they end up nice and tender. Before peeling them, make sure to let them cool for a few minutes. Then it\u2019s easy to cut them into round slices. While you wait, open a bottle of Jean Leon 3055 Chardonnay, a wine that pairs beautifully with seafood dishes like octopus, shellfish or cuttlefish. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28240\" src=\"https:\/\/jeanleon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/pulpo_interior-850x567.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once your <em>cal\u00e7ots<\/em> are roasted and cut into round slices, it&#8217;s time to cook the octopus. It really doesn&#8217;t need to cook for a long time, because it&#8217;s pre-boiled. Lightly pan-grill the octopus in olive oil until it turns golden, remove from heat, and cut into pieces. Season with paprika, sea salt flakes, and a bit of olive oil.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now it&#8217;s time for the presentation. Arrange the octopus pieces on the entire plate, along with the <em>cal\u00e7ots<\/em>, then add a decorative <em>romesco <\/em>and aioli sauce flourish. And for the final touch: sprinkle with chives and parsley.
