  • 2 Garlic Cloves peeled
  • 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil divided

METHOD

 

Step 1

Combine the octopus, wine, peppercorns, 1 lemon cut in half, cork, and garlic in a pot.

Step 2

Cover with water by 1 inch and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook the octopus until it is tender when pierced with a sharp knife.

Step 3

Drain, and allow the octopus to come to room temperature.

Step 4

Turn your grill to high heat. Toss the octopus with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Place the octopus on the grill and cook for a few minutes on both sides until the octopus is well browned, but still remains moist, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Step 6

Cut the octopus tentacles, place on a platter and drizzle with the remaining olive oil, juice of the remaining lemon, and season with salt and pepper
