    Ingredients

    • 1 large octopus (2-3 pounds)
    • 1/4 cup olive oil
    • 1 onion, chopped
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
    • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
    • 1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes
    • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth

    • 1 (15-ounce) can white beans, drained and rinsed
    • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
    • Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

    Method

    • 1. Begin by preparing the octopus. If using a whole octopus, cut off the head and discard. Cut the octopus into small pieces and place in a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil.
    • 2. Reduce the heat and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the octopus is tender. Drain and set aside
    • 3. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and sea salt. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
    • 4. Add the diced tomatoes and chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the cooked octopus and white beans and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
    • 5. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired. Enjoy!
