INGREDIENTS
8 ounces cooked octopus
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
1/2 lemon
1 cup arugula
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the octopus dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the octopus to the skillet and sear each side for about 2-3 minutes until they develop a slight char and warm through.
Squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon over the octopus and toss in fresh chopped parsley.
Plate the octopus with a side of fresh arugula dressed lightly with a drizzle of olive oil and a dash of lemon juice or simply serve it as a refreshing salad accompaniment.
Serve immediately and enjoy this tangy, herby, and savory dish.
