Octopus Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Clean the Octopus

   Rinse the octopus under cold water and remove the beak and any innards. Pat dry with a paper towel.

2. 2

   Tenderize the Octopus

   Place the octopus in a large pot of boiling water for about 5 minutes, then remove and let it cool slightly. This helps to tenderize the meat.

3. 3

   Marinate

   In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Marinate the octopus in this mixture for at least 30 minutes.

4. 4

   Grill the Octopus

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the octopus for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until it is charred and cooked through.

5. 5

   Serve

   Remove the grilled octopus from the grill, slice it into pieces, and serve with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
