Grilled Octopus and Chorizo

This recipe comes from Gridiron Grill-off chef William Middleton of Oceans 234 in Deerfield Beach, a Florida native who has worked primarily with seafood and considers it to be his specialty.

Ingredients
  

  • 3 oz. fennel
  • 1 oz. tomato
  • 1 oz. fingerling potato
  • Kalamata olives
  • Spanish chorizo
  • Octopus tentacle
  • Black garlic vinaigrette

Broth

  • Red wine
  • Celery
  • Carrots
  • Onion

Instructions
 

  • Braise the whole octopus in a red wine, celery, carrots and onion broth until tender. Add chorizo, fennel, potatoes, kalamata olives and tomatoes into a hot sauté pan and cook for about 3 minutes or until you see the chorizo and fennel starting to darken.
    Brush the plate with the squid ink and lay the sautéed items evenly across the painted ink.
    Place a cleaned octopus tentacle on a hot grill. Char the octopus on all sides then slice on a bias and place on top of sautéed veggies. Finish with black garlic vinaigrette.
