Preparation

1. Cleaning the Octopus

Start by cleaning the fresh octopus. Remove the beak and innards, and rinse thoroughly under cold water.

2. Cooking the Octopus

In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the cleaned octopus and cook for about 30-40 minutes until tender. Check doneness with a fork.

3. Cooling Down

Once cooked, remove the octopus from the pot and let it cool slightly before slicing.

Place the marinated octopus on the grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until nicely charred.
