MAKE THE SAUCE

Combine ROASTED olives with chopped cilantro, green onions, and lemon juice. Add the olive oil and salt to taste. Allow the green olive mixture to sit in the fridge to let the flavors meld while you grill the octopus.

PREP THE OCTOPUS

MY ADVICE? START WITH PRECOOKED OCTOPUS TENTACLES, HOWEVER THERE ARE BASIC INSTRUCTIONS IN THE FULL BLOG POST ON HOW TO COOK A RAW OCTOPUS FOR THIS RECIPE. DRY AND TOSS THE PRE-COOKED TENTACLES IN A DRIZZLE OF EVOO. SEASON WITH SALT.

GRILL THE OCTOPUS

Preheat the grill to 500°F for about 10 minutes. Once hot, place the octopus directly on the grates. Cook for 6-9 minutes on each side. You’re aiming for a good char without completely overcooking the seafood.

PLATE + SERVE

CHOP THE OCTOPUS, AND SERVE WITH A GENEROUS AMOUNT OF GREEN OLIVE SALSA VERDE.
