Grilled Octopus Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Octopus

   In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add salt and the octopus. Simmer for about 45 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat and let cool.

2. 2

   Marinate the Octopus

   Once the octopus is cool, cut it into smaller pieces. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, curry powder, salt, and pepper. Add the octopus pieces and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Cook the Potatoes

   Boil baby potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly. Cut in half.

4. 4

   Grill the Octopus

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated octopus pieces for about 3-4 minutes on each side until charred.

5. 5

   Prepare the Tahini Sauce

   In a bowl, mix tahini with a little water to thin it out, and season with salt and lemon juice to taste.

6. 6

   Assemble the Dish

   On a serving platter, arrange the grilled octopus, halved baby potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and chickpeas. Drizzle with the tahini sauce and garnish with chopped parsley.
