Serves: 4 Adventurous Souls 🍽️
Ingredients for Your Undersea Delight:
- 2 tablespoons of Saffron Dukkah Mix (the star of the show!)
- 1 teaspoon of Smoked Sea Salt (to echo the ocean's whisper)
- 1 clove of Garlic (for a bit of pizzazz)
- Zest and juice of 1 Lemon (citrusy zing!)
- 1 teaspoon of Oregano (herbal notes of the Mediterranean)
- 3-4 tablespoons of Olive Oil (liquid gold!)
- 1 Octopus (your oceanic centerpiece)
Preparation - Unleash the Kraken!
- Begin your culinary adventure by giving your octopus a spa day. Clean it thoroughly, bidding farewell to its ink sac, beak, and eyes.
- Wash away any lingering sea tales and prepare for a boiling escapade. You can opt for a pre-cooked octopus to save time in your culinary voyage.
- Zest and juice your lemon, capturing the essence of citrusy oceans.
- Boil your octopus with grace, letting it simmer gently in its own aquatic world.
Cooking Instructions - Sizzle & Seize!
- Let the boiled octopus cool in its own mystical potion to retain its sea-kissed skin.
- Pat it dry like a gentle sea breeze.
- Whip up your marinade: olive oil, garlic, sea salt, oregano, and the pièce de résistance, Saffron Dukkah Mix.
- Bathe your octopus in this marinade. Let it soak up the flavours for at least 30 minutes - patience is key!
- Grill time! Sear each tentacle on a hot grill for about 2 minutes each side, crafting the perfect char.
- Serve with a side of your choice and a drizzle of lemon juice. Voila! A dish that Neptune would envy!
So there you have it, fellow foodies. A grilled octopus recipe that’s not just a meal, but a journey. Bon appétit! 🍴✨
