Octopus

This simple salad makes a great lunch dish for a light meal, or as part of a spread with which to welcome guests.

Marinated in garlic, lemon and Greek oregano, this barbecued octopus dish is lip-smackingly good.

This recipe works well cooked in a cast-iron pot over a low fire.

This plate is ridiculously easy and quick to prepare, yet never fails to impress. The octopus needs just a minute on a hot grill to be cooked to perfection; a generous squeeze of lemon will finish it off beautifully.

Tender braised octopus with spicy chilli rice is an excellent dish for a casual lunch with friends.
