Method

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil.

Serve the octopus and chorizo together with the herb salad.

Garnish with flowers, olive oil, lemon juice, sesame seeds, and seasoning.

Mix orange segments, herbs, olives, and spring onions together for the salad.

Add spring onions and oregano to the pan and cook for two minutes before setting aside.

Cut tentacles into small chunks and fry with chorizo in a hot pan until crisp.

Dunk the octopus in salted boiling water three times, add vinegar, and simmer for one hour.

Prepare the octopus by removing the head and the beak from the tentacles.

Tenderize octopus tentacles with a mallet and remove the skin.
