Octopus

Smoked Tomato Marmalade

Nori Crackers

Method

Prepare the Octopus

  1. 1

    Cleaning and Marinating

    Clean the octopus thoroughly under cold water. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add the octopus and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grilling

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated octopus for about 3-4 minutes on each side until it is charred and cooked through. Remove from the grill and let it rest.

Make Smoked Tomato Marmalade

  1. 3

    Cooking the Marmalade

    In a saucepan, combine chopped tomatoes, brown sugar, smoked paprika, apple cider vinegar, and salt. Cook over medium heat for about 20-25 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally. Let it cool.

Prepare Nori Crackers

  1. 4

    Baking the Crackers

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush nori sheets with sesame oil and cut into desired shapes. Bake for 5-7 minutes until crispy. Remove from the oven and brush lightly with soy sauce.

Serve

  1. 5

    Plating

    Slice the grilled octopus and serve it on a plate with a generous scoop of smoked tomato marmalade. Garnish with nori crackers on the side.
