1
Cleaning the Octopus
If the octopus is not already cleaned, remove the beak and innards, then rinse thoroughly under cold water.
2
Cooking the Octopus
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole octopus and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 45 minutes or until tender. Remove from the water and let cool.
3
Grilling
Once the octopus is cool enough to handle, cut it into tentacles. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Brush the octopus with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until charred.
4
Serving
Remove from the grill, drizzle with lemon juice, and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
