HOW TO MAKE THIS EASY GRILLED OCTOPUS?

This is the way I like to prepare octopus of any size baby, medium or large.

  • I always boil it first, then let it cool down to room temperature and quickly grill it, so it gets a nice char.
  • Then I season it with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, dried oregano, fresh parsley and garlic (optional).
  • After grilling you can use a mix of your favorite spices, if the ones I’m suggesting don’t sound good to you.

  •  olive oil
  •  2 garlic cloves — , roughly chopped
