Octopus with borlotti beans
My version of a piquant savoury tapa I was served in a bar in Spain. It's quick to make as an evening meal.
Difficulty and servings
Serves 3
Preparation and cooking times
10-15 minutes to simmer
- Heat olive oil on a moderate heat. Fry peppers first for several minutes, then add onions and garlic and continue frying for several minutes
- Add beans to mix, followed by tomatoes, salt, pepper, cayenne, oregano and thyme. Stir to mix, cover and turn burner to low.
- Simmer for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, cut any overly large octopus pieces into several smaller chunks.
- Stir octopus into borlotti beans and simmer for another 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle on parsley and serve with rice. I prefer brown basmati
