1
Preparing the Octopus
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the octopus and cook for about 45 minutes until tender. Remove from water and let it cool.
2
Marinating
Once the octopus is cool enough to handle, cut it into tentacles. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Add the octopus and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3
Grilling the Octopus
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated octopus for about 2-3 minutes on each side until charred and heated through.
4
Serving
Serve the grilled octopus with additional lemon wedges and a drizzle of olive oil.
