Octopus Skewer

Method

Preparation and Cooking

1

Prepare the Octopus

In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the octopus and simmer for about 45 minutes or until tender. Drain and let cool.

2

Marinate

In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Cut the cooled octopus into bite-sized pieces and toss them in the marinade. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

3

Skewering

Thread the marinated octopus pieces onto skewers.

4

Grilling

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are nicely charred.
