Experience the Taste of Spain with Pulpo a la Gallega con MAMBO

Descripción

Pulpo a la Gallega is a traditional Spanish dish that originates from the region of Galicia. It consists of tender octopus seasoned with paprika, salt, and olive oil. This recipe brings the flavors of Spain right to your kitchen with the help of MAMBO, a versatile kitchen appliance that makes cooking a breeze.

Ingredientes

1 octopus (approximately 2-3 pounds)

2 tablespoons of paprika

1 teaspoon of salt

3 tablespoons of olive oil

1 bay leaf

1 potato

1/2 onion

2 cloves of garlic

1/2 cup of water

Preparación

1. Preparar el Pulpo

Start by cleaning the octopus thoroughly. Remove the head and beak, and rinse it under cold water. Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Once the water is boiling, dip the octopus into the pot three times, holding it by the head each time. This helps to curl the tentacles and tenderize the meat. Submerge the octopus in the pot and add a bay leaf.

Cocinar a fuego medio por 45-60 minutos until the octopus is tender. Remove from the pot and let it cool before slicing into bite-sized pieces.

2. Preparar la Salsa de Paprika

In a small bowl, mix the paprika, salt, and olive oil to create a paste. This will be used to season the octopus later on.

3. Preparar las Verduras

Peel and chop the potato into small cubes. Slice the onion and mince the garlic. In the MAMBO, add the potato, onion, garlic, and water.

Cocinar a 120°C por 10 minutos to soften the vegetables.

4. Cocinar el Pulpo con MAMBO

Add the sliced octopus to the MAMBO with the vegetables. Drizzle the paprika paste over the octopus and vegetables. Mix everything well to ensure the octopus is coated in the seasoning.

Cocinar a 120°C por 5 minutos to warm up the octopus and allow the flavors to meld together.

5. Servir y Disfrutar

Once the pulpo a la Gallega is cooked, transfer it to a serving dish. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve hot and enjoy the taste of Spain right at home!
