Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Octopus

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the octopus and cook for about 45 minutes. The octopus should be tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from water and let cool.

  2. 2

    Make the Garlic Oil

    In a small saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant but not browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Grill the Octopus

    Once cooled, cut the octopus into serving pieces. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the octopus with the garlic oil and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until charred.

  4. 4

    Season and Serve

    Remove from grill and sprinkle with smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
