Grilled Octopus Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Octopus

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the octopus and cook for about 45 minutes or until tender. Remove from water and let cool before cutting into manageable pieces.

2. 2

   Cook the Chorizo

   In a skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Slice the chorizo and cook it for about 5-7 minutes until it's crispy. Remove and set aside.

3. 3

   Prepare Chickpeas

   In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, then add the drained chickpeas, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes until heated through.

4. 4

   Grill the Octopus

   Preheat your grill to high heat. Brush the octopus pieces with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until charred and nicely marked.

5. 5

   Serve

   On a plate, arrange the chickpeas and chorizo, top with grilled octopus, and garnish with lemon wedges and chopped fresh parsley.
