Method

  1. 1

    Halve the waxy potatoes and boil in salted water for 15 minutes until tender. Drain, leave for 5 minutes, then slice thickly.

  2. 2

    Slice the cooked octopus tentacles into 1cm pieces. Heat 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan over a high heat and sear the octopus for 2 minutes until lightly charred and hot through.

  3. 3

    Whisk the crushed garlic with the juice of the lemons, the chilli flakes, the remaining 4 tbsp oil and ½ tsp salt.

  4. 4

    Toss the warm potatoes and octopus with the thinly sliced red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, diced green pepper, chopped parsley and coriander and the dressing. Serve warm.
