Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Octopus

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the octopus and cook for about 45 minutes to 1 hour until tender. Drain and let cool. Once cooled, cut the tentacles into manageable pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chickpeas

    If using canned chickpeas, rinse and drain them. If using dried chickpeas, soak them overnight and cook until tender.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the red onion and red bell pepper into thin strips. Mince the garlic.

Grilling

  1. 4

    Marinate and Grill

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, minced garlic, the juice of the lemon, salt, and black pepper. Add the octopus pieces and marinate for at least 30 minutes. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and grill the octopus for about 5-7 minutes on each side until charred.

Serving

  1. 5

    Combine and Serve

    In a serving dish, combine the grilled octopus, chickpeas, sliced red onion, and red bell pepper. Drizzle with additional olive oil and serve with lemon wedges.
