Cooking time: 1 hour 20 minutes

For the octopus

Ingredients (4 servings)
1 Octopus, approx. 1.2-1.5 kg, ready to cook, defrosted or fresh
2 Spring onions
1/2 Lemon
5 cm Ginger, sliced
1 Garlic clove, crushed
Vegetable oil, salt, black pepper
Teriyaki sauce for glazing

For the matcha mayonnaise

Ingredients (4 servings)
1 tablespoon(s) Hot water
4 teaspoon(s) Matcha powder
180 ml Japanese mayonnaise (e.g. Kewpie)
1 tablespoon(s) Honey
1/2 teaspoon(s) Sea salt
1/2 teaspoon(s) Wasabi, optional

To serve

Ingredients (4 servings)
Chilli, in fine rings
1 Lemon, cut into slices
  • Bring the octopus with all the ingredients except the teriyaki sauce to the boil in a pan of water. Simmer over a low heat for approx. 45-60 minutes until soft (test with a fork).
  • Remove, leave to cool slightly, cut into pieces or large tentacles.
  • Separate the pointed cabbage into individual leaves, blanch briefly in boiling salted water and rinse. Pat dry, rub with oil and ginger and grill briefly on both sides on a hot barbecue.
  • For the matcha mayonnaise, pour hot water into a small bowl and finely sieve the matcha powder into it so that no lumps form. Mix thoroughly until a smooth, thick paste is formed. If necessary, pass through a fine sieve.
  • Add the mayonnaise, honey and salt to the matcha paste and whisk everything well until the mixture is nice and creamy. Season with a little wasabi if desired.
  • Brush the cooked octopus arms with a little oil and grill on a hot barbecue for 2-3 minutes on each side until nicely roasted. Glaze with a little teriyaki sauce to taste.
  • To serve, spread the matcha mayonnaise on plates, arrange the cabbage leaves on top and finish with the octopus arms. Garnish with lemon slices and chilli.

Tip:

Falstaff wine recommendation

Ried Poharnig Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Winery Erwin Sabathi, Leutschach

Soil-influenced flint notes, cool, precise fruit aromas, fresh alpine flowers, blackcurrant leaves, elegant with vibrant acidity, cool, salty minerality on the palate, delicate juiciness on the finish.
