Grilled Octopus Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • 1. Combine octopus, bay leaf, thyme, wine, peppercorns, 1 tsp. salt, garlic and 1 lemon (cut in half), in saucepan along with water to cover. Turn heat to medium, cover, and bring to boil.
  • 2. Adjust heat so that liquid simmers slowly, and cook until octopus is tender, about 60-90 minutes, depending on whether you're using two smaller octopuses or 1 larger one.
  • 3. Drain, discarding everything but octopus. Set aside.
  • 4. Start charcoal or wood fire, or preheat gas grill; fire should be quite hot. Grill rack about 4 inches from heat source. Cut octopus into large serving pieces, brush it with half the olive oil, and sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
  • 5. Grill it quickly until outside brown’s but inside is not dried out.
  • 6. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
  • 7. Brush octopus with remaining olive oil. Serve with lemon wedges, hot or at room temperature, garnished with parsley.
  • A fresh green salad, some chewy bread and some decent grape stompings and you’re set.
