Kim Milan's Italian-Style Grilled Octopus

Cooking tips 💡

• The broth for simmering the octopus should be salty enough so that, through osmosis, the octopus retains its natural umami and seasoning.
• Dipping the octopus legs into the boiling broth and lifting them out several times helps them curl evenly without tangling, creating a nice shape.
• Overcooking the octopus will cause the flesh to break down, so it's crucial to cook only until the thickest part of the leg can be pierced easily.
• You can use regular paprika powder instead of smoked paprika, or omit it entirely according to your taste.
