Grilled Octopus Recipe

Prepare the Octopus

In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add salt and the whole octopus. Cook for about 45 minutes until tender. Remove and let it cool.

Marinate the Octopus

In a bowl, mix soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the cooled octopus to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

Grill the Octopus

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated octopus for about 3-4 minutes on each side until nicely charred.

Prepare the Yam and Daikon Salad

While the octopus is grilling, steam or boil the yam until tender, then cut it into cubes. Thinly slice the daikon. In a bowl, combine the yam, daikon, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with olive oil and add salt to taste, mixing well.

Serve

Place grilled octopus on a plate, serve with yam and daikon salad, and sprinkle with chopped peanuts for garnish.
