Grilled Octopus with Vinaigrette

Ingredients

• 1 Large octopus (approx. 1-1.5kg, cleaned)
• 1 Bay leaf
• 1/2 Onion
• 100ml Olive oil
• 3 EL Lemon juice
• 2 EL chopped parsley
• 1 Garlic clove (minced)
• Salz Salt
• Pfeffer Pepper

Instructions

1. Boil the octopus in a large pot with water, bay leaf, and half an onion for approx. 45-60 minutes, until tender. Do not salt, as this can make it tough.
2. Drain the cooked octopus and let it cool slightly. Cut the tentacles into approx. 2-3 cm thick pieces.
3. For the vinaigrette: Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
4. Preheat the grill to high heat.
5. Place the octopus pieces on the grill and grill for approx. 3-5 minutes per side, until slightly charred and crispy.
6. Transfer the grilled octopus pieces to a bowl and drizzle with the vinaigrette.
7. Toss well and serve immediately.
