Marinated Octopus Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Octopus

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the octopus and cook for about 30-40 minutes until tender. Remove from water and let cool.

  2. 2

    Make the Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Octopus

    Once the octopus has cooled, cut it into bite-sized pieces. Add the octopus to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the octopus from the marinade and serve chilled or at room temperature. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
