What it is
Tender octopus, roasted or grilled, bathed in rich olive oil with roasted garlic and onions. The traditional potatoes are replaced with a side of steamed or sautéed broccoli florets.
Key ingredients
Octopus, olive oil, roasted garlic, onions, broccoli
If you order it anyway
Crucially, no roasted potatoes ('batatas ao murro') should be served. Request a generous portion of broccoli or other low-carb vegetables. Ensure no sugary glazes or marinades.
Watch out for
Similar to Bacalhau à Lagareiro, risks include hidden sugars in marinades, or cross-contamination from cooking other items. Over-reliance on onions can increase net carbs.
