Barbecued Octopus With Lemon And Oregano

3. Prepare the Grill:

  • Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

4. Grill the Octopus:

  • Remove the octopus from the marinade, letting the excess oil drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting.
  • Place the octopus tentacles on the hot grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade, until the octopus is nicely charred and heated through.

5. Serve:

  • Transfer the grilled octopus to a serving platter. Drizzle with a bit more olive oil, sprinkle with additional chopped oregano, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.

Enjoy your Barbecued Octopus with Lemon and Oregano as a stunning main course or a tantalizing appetizer. This dish pairs wonderfully with a crisp, dry white wine and a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
