Cooking Instructions

  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 the pot and let cool.

  2. 2

    Marinate

    Once cooled, cut the octopus tentacles into manageable pieces. In a bowl, mix olive oil, smoked paprika, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add the octopus pieces and mix well to coat. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grill the Octopus

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated octopus for about 3-5 minutes on each side until charred and heated through.

  4. 4

    Prepare Hearts of Palm

    While the octopus is grilling, slice the hearts of palm into rounds.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Arrange grilled octopus on a plate and top with sliced hearts of palm. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over and serve immediately.
