Grilled Octopus

Istruzioni

1. 1

   Begin by cleaning the octopus, removing the beak and ink sac, and rinsing it under cold water.

   In a large pot, bring water to a boil and blanch the octopus for 60 seconds to tenderize it. Then reduce the heat and simmer for 45-60 minutes until it is tender.

   Remove the octopus from the pot and let it cool down. Once cooled, cut the tentacles from the body.

4. 4

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

   In a bowl, mix olive oil, crushed garlic, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture over the octopus tentacles.

   Place the octopus tentacles on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are nicely charred and crispy.

7. 7

   Chop the fresh parsley and set aside.
