1
Marinate the Octopus
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the cleaned octopus and marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.

Prepare Salsa Verde
In a separate bowl, mix together parsley, basil, capers, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
3
Grill the Octopus
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the octopus from the marinade and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until charred and cooked through.
4
Serve
Slice the grilled octopus and serve with generous spoonfuls of salsa verde on top.
