How come this is American cuisine?
What about the paprika?
That should be added with the other spices, I will update the recipe text. Thank you for mentioning!
How do you prep the octopus? Do you just cut it up into chunks? Do you peel the skin off?
No need to peel the skin off- it’s edible! Just rinse the octopus and cut into pieces.
Lots of Americans eat Octopus and love Spanish food.
