So much going on
What is the texture of octopus after 5 hours of confit?
You spent so much time on the octo to then just be buried with all that stuff. Keep it simple. Then again this might be for home consumption then by all means. I’d slather my face in it.
Too much oil. Char octopus.
Looks dope to me, but I gotta agree that there is one too many toppings.
I don’t mind that there’s a lot going on. Nice dish 👍👍👍
You know confit means to slowly cook in its own fat right? How did you confit chimichurri? Lol
And where did you get the octopus fat? Octopuses are very lean
Octopus’s Garden!! Love it
Looks delicious, but what a mess. No need to plate it if you just mush it on the plate and drown it in oil. Just mix it in a bowl and slice the octo on top would be a lot neater.
I don’t love the pool of oil if I’m being honest bud
Honestly I love this look. Very ‘wild garden’. The plate looks great with the octo colour and the pop against the bright oranges, yellows, and greens. Busy texture of all the stuff behind + the round, simple, repetitive patterning of the suckers.
Agree with others that the puddle of oil beneath doesn’t work for me that well – there is too much for the spread to be so unintentional; would be fine in a round plate though, I think, but like the usage of a rectangular plate here.
Wish it was a horizontal photo haha.
Nice presentation , the octopus looks like it could have gotten some more char when grilled
I’m out on the cephalopods. Too intelligent of an animal to just throw on a plate with a bunch of oil and serve up.
What confuses is me is that octopus does not have a distinctly unique flavor that merits all the hype around eating it.
It looks delicious and I’d be thrilled to have this as a plate. Perhaps a bit busy but I’d still eat it and probably instagram it if I’m being honest lol
A ton of oil. And when I read ‘confit and grilled’, I expect grilled. This isn’t grilled, not nearly enough.
