1
Prepare the Octopus
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the octopus and cook for about 30-40 minutes until tender. Remove from water and let it cool.
2
Marinate
Once cooled, cut the octopus into manageable pieces. In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add the octopus pieces and allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3
Grill the Octopus
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated octopus pieces for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until nicely charred.
4
Serve
Plate the grilled octopus, drizzle with extra olive oil, and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley.
