Up the Creek

This savory, unexpected snack stars our new tinned octopus. As much as we love eating it right out of the can with a squeeze of lemon and some fresh herbs, the octopus becomes even more flavorful and tender after a quick sauté in a hot skillet. Here we pair it with smoky chorizo and buttery olives—a bite that’s begging for a dirty martini or some crisp white wine to wash it down. Be sure to serve this with some good crusty bread to mop up all of the flavorful olive oil.
