Octopus Carpaccio
Octopus provides plenty of protein and a firm but tender texture, while the citrus dressing brightens the flavor without a heavy sauce. This is a chilled appetizer with a very clean taste, where basil and olive oil support the seafood base especially well.
If the octopus (350 g) is already cooked, pack it tightly into a bottle or narrow mold so it holds a neat cylinder. Press it from above and chill it overnight so the structure sets and it can be sliced thinly.
Take a little zest from the orange (120 g), then peel away the white pith and cut out the segments. Squeeze the remaining membrane for juice. Mix the zest, segments, juice, basil (3 g), lemon juice from part of the lemon (15 g), olive oil (20 g), and a little table salt (2 g).
Remove the octopus from the mold and slice it as thinly as possible. If a few pieces fall apart slightly, that is normal; arrange them in a single layer anyway.
Spoon the citrus dressing over the octopus and let it sit for 5-7 minutes. Serve it chilled as a light appetizer or a small first course.
