Awesome Octopus

1 lb. Octopus

2 tbl Sweet Paprika

6 Cloves Garlic (crushed)

6 Carrots (chopped)

6 Celery stalks (chopped)

1 Whole Red Onion (chopped)

1 Bottle of Cabernet Wine

1 tbl each Salt & Pepper

1 Lemon quartered

*This recipe is made in a pressure cooker and then grilled*

Place the garlic, carrots, celery, onion, paprika, salt & pepper in the pressure cooker. Add 1 full bottle of Cabernet wine.

Remove the head and beak (if intact) and place the Octopus on top of the vegetables. Add water until the Octopus is just covered.

Set the pressure cooker to 20 minutes and start it up. After 20 minutes, release the steam and immediately remove Octopus and place in a pot with ice water to stop it from continuing to cook.
Cut the legs to separate and grill for two minutes on each side.

The legs can be drizzled with olive oil and refrigerated for later.

Serve with lemon wedges.

Enjoy!
