Steps to make Grilled Octopus and Potatoes:
- Boil the octopus in salted water with 1 whole onion until soft. It'll take a few hours. Mine took about 2 hours or more on medium-high heat. I didn't really keep track of the time however. I tested the softness of the octopus with a toothpick..
- Remove the octopus from the water when done and set aside or if making ahead, place in the fridge once cooled. Drain the water over a deep bowl and remove any lumpy, onion bits from the water using a sieve. It makes an excellent fish stock which can also be frozen until needed..
- In the meantime, cook the potatoes whole with skins on until fully cooked through. Drain the potatoes, allow to air dry for a few minutes. Then using the back of a spoon squash each potato until it pops slightly but still intact and add the potatoes to a ovenproof tray. Gently toss in olive oil and season with salt..
- Transfer to a preheated oven and bake until crispy and browned on the outside. Turn a few times..
- To make the sauce, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the onion and fry for 3-5 minutes or until softened, then add the garlic and coriander and continue to fry for another 3-5 minutes. Don't let the onion or garlic burn. Set aside until needed, it can be reheated if required..
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Cut the octopus into single tentacles and coat in olive oil then char the octopus for a couple of minutes on each side (coal works best but a grill pan will do just fine)..
- Assemble the plate with the potatoes and octopus then drizzle with the onion oil. Serve with favourite salad..
