    Place the octopus in a large zipper lock or vacuum seal bag. Seal the bag using the water immersion technique or a vacuum sealer on the dry setting. Place the bag int the water bath and set the timer for 4 hours.

  • Step 3

      In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, parsley, tarragon, and paprika. Slowly drizzle in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil until emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
