Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Octopus

In a large pot, bring 2 liters of water to a boil. Add sea salt. Once boiling, carefully add the octopus. Boil for about 30 minutes or until tender.

2

Cool and Cut

Once cooked, remove the octopus from the pot and let it cool. Once cooled, cut the tentacles into bite-sized pieces.

3

Make the Marinade

In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, juice from the lemon, paprika, black pepper, and chopped parsley to create a marinade.

4

Marinate the Octopus

Add the octopus pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking

5

Grill the Octopus

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated octopus for about 3-5 minutes on each side until slightly charred and heated through.

6

Serve

Serve the grilled octopus warm, garnished with additional parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
