If I see octopus on a menu, I always order it – it’s one of my favourite foods, and for me nothing says ‘summer’ more than octopus paired with tomatoes and lovage. It instantly transports me to the pintxos bars in San Sebastian – food heaven!

Ingredients

  • 1 octopus weighing about 2 kg
  • 4 heritage tomatoes
  • 2½

Method

Preheat your oven to 160°C fan.

Place the octopus in a deep tray and cover with tin foil. Place in the oven for 1 hour, then turn the octopus over, put the foil back on and cook for
