      Galician octopus empanada on potato parmentier.

      It is a contemporary reinterpretation of a Galician classic.

      In this proposal, I keep the traditional essence of the empanada: a filling made with octopus, onion, red bell pepper, tomato and smoked paprika, slow-cooked to achieve a deep and balanced flavor.

      This stew is wrapped in a golden, crispy puff pastry, which adds lightness and a different, more refined texture.

      As a base, I present a potato parmentier, smooth and creamy, which balances the intensity of the paprika and the saltiness of the sea.

      I finish with grilled octopus and a dash of paprika oil, evoking the authentic flavor of “pulpo a feira”.

      With this dish I seek to unite tradition and technique, demonstrating that Galician cuisine can evolve without losing its identity.
