Ingredients: 600g fresh baby octopus (or pre-cooked if unavailable); 120g kalamata or Niçoise black olives, pitted; 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil; 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar; 40g panko breadcrumbs; 4 cloves garlic, minced; 30g fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped; 60ml neutral oil; 15g bottarga (mullet roe), for shaving; 60ml extra-virgin olive oil (for herb oil); 0.5 lemon; Sea salt and cracked pepper to taste; 8 cherry tomatoes, halved

Portuguese coastal refinement: tender slices of briefly-charred octopus arranged in overlapping shingles across a warm white plate, adorned with briny black olive paste, a whisper of umami-rich bottarga shavings, and shards of crispy garlic breadcrumb that catch the light—finished with a peppery herb oil that carries garlic's perfume.
