Method

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil.

Tenderize octopus tentacles with a mallet and remove the skin.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Serve the octopus and chorizo together with the herb salad.
