I think I’ve just found my new favorite octopus dish for dinner. It is octopus with chorizo and potatoes, a Spanish style dish that has all of the ingredients I needed on hand.   The recipe is very straightforward, and it took only about 20 minutes to put it all together, once I had prepared the octopus in my usual fashion.

An essential ingredient was Spanish chorizo. Mine was thinly cut vs. cubed, but that was close enough for government work.

What made the meal fabulous was a Sardinian red wine — Montessu, a blend of mostly Carignano grapes, blended with some Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. This was a recent purchase from Winestone in Brookline, and it was a perfect match for this dish.
