Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Octopus

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the octopus and cook for about 30-40 minutes until tender. Remove from water and let cool.

2

Prepare the Chorizo and Vegetables

Slice the chorizo sausage into thin rounds. Chop the scallions into small pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes.

Grilling

3

Grill the Octopus

Once the octopus has cooled, cut it into smaller manageable pieces. Brush with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill on medium-high heat for about 3-5 minutes on each side until charred.

4

Cook the Chorizo

In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chorizo and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Add the chopped scallions and cherry tomatoes, cooking until the tomatoes are just blistered.

Serving

Plate the Dish

Arrange the grilled octopus on a serving platter. Top with the chorizo, scallions, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with lemon juice and aged balsamic vinegar before serving.
