Mediterranean Octopus Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Octopus

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

  2. 2

    Make the Citrus Cream

    In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, lemon juice, citrus zest, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until thickened. Set aside to cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Grill the Octopus

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Cut the tentacles from the cooled octopus, brush with olive oil, and season with garlic, salt, and black pepper. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until charred.

  4. 4

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, arrange the grilled octopus tentacles. Drizzle with the citrus cream and top with dollops of lemon cheese. Finish with caviar and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
