Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Octopus

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the octopus and cook for about 45 minutes until tender. Remove from water and let it cool slightly. Cut into manageable pieces.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    In a separate pot, boil the potatoes in salted water for about 20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool. Once cooled, peel and cut into wedges.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Grill the Octopus

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Toss the octopus pieces in a tablespoon of olive oil. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until charred. Remove from grill and let rest.

  2. 4

    Grill the Potatoes

    Toss the potato wedges with remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they have nice grill marks.

Finishing Touches

  1. 5

  2. 6
