Grilled Octopus is one of the most favored of current trending meals in the world. It is enjoyed by millions every day. It’s easy, it is fast, it tastes yummy. Grilled Octopus is something that I have loved my entire life. They’re fine and they look fantastic.
To get started with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few ingredients. You can have grilled octopus using 8 ingredients and 4 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make Grilled Octopus:
- Get 900 g octopus (baby, medium or large)
- Make ready Juice of one lemon (use less if preferred)
- Prepare Olive oil
- Make ready 3 garlic cloves, finely diced
- Take to taste Salt
- Get to taste Freshly ground black pepper
- Make ready 1/2 dried oregano (I used wild oregano)
- Get 1 bunch fresh chopped parsley
Steps to make Grilled Octopus:
- I always boil the octopus first. I boil it anywhere between 45 minutes to 120 minutes depending on how soft I want the octopus to become. I asked the fishmonger to prepare the octopus for ease so it was literally just adding it to slightly salted water and allowing it to boil.
- Remove the octopus from the pot, rinse under cold water and allow to cool to room temperature for 30-60 minutes before grilling. While cooling drizzle some olive over the octopus and add the garlic to marinade.
- This is so much better on the barbecue but as its middle of winter here, I had to settle for a grill pan. So heat it up to medium/high heat, slice the tentacles to cook individually. Grill on each side for 3-5 minutes.
- Place in a bowl and drizzle the lemon juice, some more olive oil, parsley and oregano. Season with salt and pepper then gently toss the octopus in the sauce and serve.
