1
Prepare the Octopus
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the octopus and cook for about 45 minutes or until tender. Remove from water and let it cool.
2
Marinate
In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cut the cooled octopus into manageable pieces and marinate in the mixture for at least 30 minutes.
3
Grill
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated octopus pieces for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are charred and crispy.
4
Serve
Remove from grill and serve immediately with extra lemon wedges and fresh herbs on the side.
