Method

Preparing the Pulpo

  1. 1

    Boil the Octopus

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the octopus and reduce heat to a simmer. Allow to cook for about 30-40 minutes or until tender. Remove from water and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Season the Octopus

    Once cooled, cut the octopus into tentacles. In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Toss the octopus tentacles in the marinade until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Grill the Octopus

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the octopus tentacles for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until charred and crispy.

Making the Mojo Verde

  1. 4

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a blender, combine fresh cilantro, garlic cloves, green chili, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Blend until smooth and adjust seasoning to taste.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Once the octopus is grilled, serve hot with a generous drizzle of mojo verde on top.
