Method

Prepare the Grilled Octopus

  1. 1

    Cook the Octopus

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the octopus and cook for about 45 minutes until tender. Drain and let cool.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Octopus

    Once cooled, cut the octopus into tentacles. In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the octopus and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grill the Octopus

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated octopus for about 3-4 minutes on each side until charred.

Prepare the Vegetable Salad

  1. 4

    Chop the Vegetables

    Chop the cucumber, slice the red onion, and halve the cherry tomatoes.

  2. 5

    Mix the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, chopped vegetables, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to combine.

Prepare the Red Peppers Coulis

  1. 6

    Roast the Peppers

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Place red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes until the skin is charred.

  2. 7

    Blend the Coulis

    Once roasted, peel the skin off the peppers. In a blender, combine roasted peppers, olive oil, minced garlic, and salt. Blend until smooth.
