1
Prep the Octopus
Clean the octopus thoroughly and remove the beak and ink sac. Rinse under cold water.
2
Boil the Octopus
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the octopus and cook for about 45 minutes or until tender. Once cooked, remove from water and let it cool.
3
Marinate
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, juice of the lemon, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cut the cooled octopus into pieces and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
4
Prepare the Roof Tile
Preheat your grill. Place a clean roof tile on the grill to heat up.
5
Grill the Octopus
Once the tile is hot, arrange the marinated octopus pieces on the tile. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side until slightly charred.
6
Garnish and Serve
Remove the tile from the grill, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
