Instructions

  1. 1

    Braising the Octopus

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the octopus and simmer for about 45 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat and let it cool in the cooking liquid.

  2. 2

    Slicing the Octopus

    Once cooled, remove the octopus from the pot and pat dry. Using a sharp knife, slice the octopus thinly and arrange the slices on a serving plate.

  3. 3

    Preparing the Salad

    Cut the heirloom tomatoes into halves or quarters depending on their size. In a bowl, combine the heirloom tomatoes and mixed greens. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Plating

    Top the sliced octopus with the tomato salad and drizzle with romesco sauce. Serve immediately.
