Method

Toss the octopus and dressing into the salad and serve garnished with parsley and chilli.

Place octopus, thyme, onion, bay leaves, carrot, celery, garlic, and peppercorns in a saucepan and cover with water.

Whisk the vinegar, honey, and olive oil together to create the dressing.

Combine the cooked artichokes, fennel, rocket, and spinach in a large bowl.

Grill the marinated octopus on a hot griddle pan for 2 minutes per side until charred.

Heat a frying pan and cook the artichokes with thyme and stock for 6 minutes.

Cut the cool octopus into pieces and marinate with oil, chilli, lemon, mint, and parsley for 2 hours.

Discard the vegetables and allow the octopus to cool.

Simmer the octopus for 90 to 120 minutes until tender.
