1
Prepare the Octopus
Clean the octopus thoroughly and remove the beak and ink sac. Place it in a large pot of boiling salted water and cook for about 45 minutes until tender. Remove from water and let it cool.
2
Marinate
In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and juice from one lemon. Cut the cooled octopus into tentacle pieces and add to the marinade. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
3
Grill the Octopus
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated octopus pieces for about 2-3 minutes on each side until charred and slightly crispy.
4
Serve
Remove from grill, drizzle with more olive oil, squeeze the remaining lemon juice over, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
