For the Grilled Octopus

Method

Preparation of Grilled Octopus

  1. 1

    Boil the Octopus

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cleaned octopus and reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 45-60 minutes until tender. Remove from water and let cool.

  2. 2

    Marinate

    Once cooled, cut the octopus tentacles into manageable pieces. In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the octopus, ensuring it's well-coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grill the Octopus

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated octopus for about 3-4 minutes on each side until charred and heated through. Remove from the grill and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
