1
Prepare the Octopus
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the octopus and simmer for about 30-40 minutes until tender. Remove from the water and let cool.
2
Make the Marinade
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, chopped oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
3
Marinate the Octopus
Once cool, cut the octopus into tentacles and place them in the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
4
Grill the Octopus
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated octopus tentacles for about 3-4 minutes on each side until charred and heated through.
5
Serve
Remove from the grill and serve hot, garnished with additional parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
