🐙 Grilled Octopus Recipe

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Tenderize the octopus: Boil the octopus in salted water with bay leaves for about 40–45 minutes until tender. If using frozen octopus, thaw completely first.
  2. Marinate: Let the octopus cool slightly. Toss with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper. Let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  3. Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high. Slice tentacles and grill for 3–4 minutes per side until lightly charred.
  4. Serve: Drizzle with more olive oil and lemon juice. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with grilled lemon wedges.
