OCTOPUS TRIO

For 1 person

For the octopus salad: dice the octopus and season with extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper and a drop of fresh lemon juice. Thinly slice the potatoes and season with extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper and parsley. Thinly slice the celery. With the help of a pastry cutter, arrange the seasoned potatoes, then add the octopus and garnish with the celery and the Dorati cherry tomatoes. 

For the grilled tentacle: prepare some mashed potatoes by boiling the potatoes and mashing them with a potato masher. Whip them in a food mixer for 2-3 minutes, slowly adding the warm milk and the extra virgin olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. When whipped, put the mixture into a piping bag. Slice a tentacle and grill it in a non-stick pan with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt until lightly browned. Arrange some mashed potato on a dish. Lay the grilled tentacle on top, finish off with a few drops of Genovese pesto and garnish with the mixed flowers. 

For the carpaccio: thinly slice the octopus and squid roll. Take a leaf of Belgian endive and fill the base with some chickpea hummus. Lay the carpaccio on top and garnish with some Mini Red tomatoes and Taggiasche olives. Serve with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
