1
Prepare the Lemon
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the octopus slices and save the other half for grilling.
2
Grill the Octopus
Place the octopus slices on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are nicely charred and heated through.
3
Char the Lemon
Place the halved lemon, cut side down, on the grill for 2-3 minutes until charred. Remove and set aside.
4
Assemble the Plate
On a serving platter, spread the hummus. Arrange the grilled octopus on top, and then sprinkle with diced sweet peppers and capers.
5
Finish with Olive Oil
Drizzle olive oil over the top and serve with charred lemon halves and pita wedges on the side.
