Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 wine cork
3 ½ pounds octopus, head and beak removed
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
½ lemon
½ tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Fill a large pot 1/2 full with water. Add 2 tablespoons kosher salt, peppercorns, and the wine cork; bring to a boil over high heat.
Meanwhile, place octopus on a cutting board. Using a wooden spoon or meat mallet, pound the octopus multiple times, starting in the middle and moving down each tentacle to tenderize the meat.
Dip tentacles into the boiling water 3 times, holding them in the boiling water 2 to 3 seconds each time, until the tentacles curl up. Submerge entire octopus in the boiling water. Bring water back to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until octopus is fork-tender, 45 to 60 minutes. Remove from heat and cool for 30 minutes.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Grill octopus until charred on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Remove from heat, slice into pieces, and place on a serving platter. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, squeeze lemon over top, sprinkle with parsley, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
