Lucho Cordero, chef/owner of ‘Kapallaq’ in Lima, is a keen diver of renown. His love and respect for the sea, coupled with his great skill in the kitchen bring us several of the recipes in this book. Lucho tends to serve this dish as a mix of octopus and scallops, but we’ve decided to be purists and serve only the tender and very subtle flavor of octopus habits.
