Preserved Lemon, EVOO, Mint
Rinse the octopus under cold water. In a pot of boiling water, cook the octopus for about 45 minutes or until tender. Remove and let it cool.
Cut the octopus tentacles into manageable pieces. In a bowl, combine the EVOO, minced garlic, preserved lemon (finely chopped), black pepper, and salt. Add the octopus pieces and mix well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated octopus for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until charred and slightly crispy.
Plate the grilled octopus and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Drizzle with additional EVOO if desired.
