Charred Octopus Tentacles with Green Olive Oil

Octopus is simmered until meltingly tender, then seared hard so the suckers crisp and blacken at the edges. Coiled tentacles rest on a pool of vivid parsley oil with a dusting of smoked paprika. It is a smoky, elegant tapas plate that tastes like a Mediterranean harbor.
