250g octopus, 1T basil pesto, (garnish) 1 cup chickpeas, 1/2 onion, 2 cloves garlic, 1T sun-dried tomato, 2t paprika powder, salt, pepper, (for boiling the octopus) 1 clove garlic, 1 onion, parsley stems, 2T lemon juice 👉 steps 1. Fill a pot with water, add garlic, onion, parsley stems, and lemon juice (instead of whole lemon), and boil the octopus for over 20 minutes. 2. Once fully cooked, cut the octopus into bite-sized pieces and sear in a pan with butter and paprika powder. 3. Heat a pan with olive oil, sauté minced onion and garlic with sun-dried tomato, then add the boiled chickpeas and season with paprika powder, salt, and pepper. Add the octopus and sear a bit more, then add chopped parsley. 4. Plate and top with basil pesto. #breakfast #recipe #miraclemorning #zucchini #octopus - The sound Jeju haenyeo (women divers) make when they surface from a dive to catch their breath is called "sumbisori." It sounds almost like whistling, but it's actually the natural sound of them expelling a lungful of carbon dioxide all at once and drawing in oxygen.
