A taste of late summer with the freshest summer ingredients. We hugely value every ingredient used at Cubitt House and use the very best suppliers to ensure just that. This dish from The Alfred Tennyson embodies this and gives these ingredients the chance to shine.
Octopus
100g cooked octopus tentacles
Heirloom tomato 200g, cored and sliced
A handful of fresh mint
½ fennel head finely sliced
Lemon Dressing
140 g Olive oil
40g Lemon Juice
30g Water
30g Honey
2g Salt
Lime Zest
Sea salt and pepper
Firstly for the lemon dressing, add together all the ingredients and emulsify.
Heat a griddle pan until very hot. Brush the octopus with oil, season, and char all over until crisp and caramelized. Slice into 2 cm pieces.
Toss the tomatoes and fennel with the dressing and season well. Throw in the mint and mix again.
Divide the salad between bowls and top with the octopus and extra mint leaves serve.
Roasts for sharing, sides for days and space for everyone around the table. This is Easter, Cubitt House-style.
As Easter approaches, our Cubitt House eggs are going fast. Each one is handmade in house with layers of clementine jelly, white chocolate ganache, Victoria sponge cake mince and more, all encased in 70% dark chocolate from @pumpstreetchocolate, made with single origin Haiti beans, and finished with a delicate chocolate brush and feuilletine crunch.
Rich, chocolatey and meant to be shared… or not. We won’t judge if it doesn’t last until Sunday.
Available to buy in all Cubitt House pubs whilst stocks last!
