Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Octopus

    Rinse the octopus under cold water. Remove the beak and any excess skin if necessary.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Octopus

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the octopus and ensure it is well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    Grill the Octopus

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the octopus from the marinade and shake off excess. Grill the octopus for about 3-4 minutes on each side until charred and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the octopus into pieces and serve with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of extra oregano if desired.
