I’ve only had Grilled Octopus once before - on the last night (unfortunately) of a trip to Lisbon - and I couldn’t stop myself from eating out of a someone else’s plate too! 🐙Who knew it was this easy to make at home?! Here’s a recipe for a charred, grilled octopus drizzled with olive oil to take it to perfection! Looks like tomorrow’s dinner is also planned.🍴 The only hard part associated with this recipe - and kinda disgusting too to be honest - is the cleaning the octopus. I cannot deal with all that sliminess so no was was I going it do any of that myself. Tried to handle that raw creature as little as I could, so I got it pre-cleaned. You might want to consider doing that too .

Instructions

Place octopus in a large pot over medium heat and cover with water.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a low simmer, cover and cook for 25 minutes or until octopus is tender but still firm (tip of a sharp knife should slide in easily).

Drain and set aside to cool until ready to handle, about 15 minutes.

Preheat grill to medium high, about 450°F.

Transfer octopus to a bowl, add 1 tsp olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and seasonings and toss to combine.

Grill each side for about 2-3 minutes until charred.

Slice into ½ - ¾" thick rounds and arrange on a platter.

Drizzle ½ tsp olive oil, garnish with parsley and serve!
