1
Prepare the Octopus
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the octopus and cook for 30-40 minutes until tender. Remove from the pot and let it cool.
2
Grill the Octopus
Once cooled, cut the octopus into manageable pieces. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and brush the octopus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side until charred and heated through.
3
Prepare the Salad
In a large bowl, combine arugula, pickled cauliflower, and sliced radish. Toss with the remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
4
Serve
On a large plate, arrange the grilled octopus pieces over the salad. Drizzle with aji verde sauce and sprinkle sliced almonds on top.
