Elaboration

For the octopus:

  • Dip the octopus in boiling water without salt three times and let it cook from 30 to 40 minutes for an approximate weight of 1 to 2 kg. 
  • If the octopus is very tough let it cool in the water, if it is well boiled take it out of the water. 
  • For the mussels:
  • Steam the mussels, remove the shells and keep them in the fridge in the boiling water. 

For the potatoes:

  • Boil the potatoes with skin on in salted water. 

For the bacon sauce:

  • Boil the milk with the bacon until infused.
  • Strain the milk, add the boiled potato and blend until a smooth cream is achieved.
  • If more flavour is needed blend some bacon pieces with milk.

To decorate the plate:

SET UP

  • Cut the octopus into 1/2 cm slices, peel the potato and remove the mussels from the water.
  • Place everything on a plate, season with extra virgin olive oil. Cover with film and microwave about 20 seconds, just to warm.
  • Plate up neatly and finish by seasoning with coarse salt and sweet paprika.
  • Finally, decorate with the sauces and the crispy potatoes.
