Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Octopus

    In a large pot of boiling water, add the octopus and cook for 30-40 minutes until tender. Remove from water and allow to cool.

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest.

    Grill the Octopus

    Once the octopus is cool, cut it into smaller pieces. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the octopus pieces with olive oil and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side until charred.

    Serve

    Plate the grilled octopus and drizzle with the prepared lemon vinaigrette. Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.
