Tender Grilled Octopus


Ingredients (serves 3):

*This recipe was developed for the Indoor Electric Grill (EB-DLC10). Adjustments may be necessary when using other models.

1

Place octopus and wine in a pot and add enough water (not listed in ingredients) to cover. Add bay leaf, garlic and 1 lemon, cut in half. Turn heat to high and bring to a boil. Skim any scum and lower heat, simmer with lid on until octopus is tender, about 1 hour for fresh octopus to 2 hours for pre-boiled octopus. 

2

Turn off the heat and keep in hot water until cool to the touch.

3

Drain, brush octopus with half the amount of olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. 

4

Preheat the Indoor Electric Grill at HI for 6 minutes or until operation light turns off. Place octopus on the grill, cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it gets grill marks. Please be careful of the heated grill. 

5

Turn off the grill and transfer octopus to a plate. Drizzle with remaining olive oil, and top with oregano and parsley.

6

Cut remaining lemon into wedges and serve with octopus.

Enjoy!
