Octopus and Potato Skewers on a Bed of Hummus

Here are the ingredients for this appetizer

• 1kg octopus
• Baby potatoes
• Homemade hummus
• Sweet paprika
• Flaky sea salt
• Extra virgin olive oil

Method

1. 1Thaw the octopus 1 day ahead.
2. 2Bring a pot of salted water to a boil; once boiling, dip the octopus in and out 3 times for a few seconds each to 'scare' it.
3. 3Then submerge it completely and simmer for 35-45min.
4. 4After 20min, add the peeled potatoes and let them cook together.
5. 5Once tender, sear the octopus in a skillet with a generous splash of olive oil.
6. 6When the potatoes have cooled down, slice them into rounds roughly 1cm thick.
7. 7Cut the octopus into bite-sized pieces.
8. 8Assemble the skewers, alternating between boiled potato rounds and octopus chunks.
9. 9Spread a bed of hummus onto a serving dish, arrange the skewers on top, and finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, sweet paprika, and a sprinkle of flaky salt.
