Octopus Marinade

Crispy Sunchokes

Fingerling Potatoes

Squid Ink Emulsion

Method

Octopus Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Octopus

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, chopped parsley, chopped oregano, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Place the cleaned octopus in the marinade and ensure it is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Grill the Octopus

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the octopus from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Grill the octopus for about 3-4 minutes on each side until charred and cooked through. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Crispy Sunchokes Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare and Cook Sunchokes

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). In a bowl, toss the sliced sunchokes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until crispy and golden brown, tossing halfway through for even cooking.

Fingerling Potatoes Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare and Roast Potatoes

    In a separate bowl, combine the halved fingerling potatoes with olive oil, salt, and chopped rosemary. Spread them on another baking sheet and roast in the oven alongside the sunchokes for 25-30 minutes until tender and golden.

Squid Ink Emulsion Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Emulsion

    In a small bowl, whisk together squid ink, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and salt until smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
