Instructions

  • 1 - Prepare and Poach Octopus:
    Rinse octopus. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil with bay leaves. Immerse octopus, simmer gently for about 20-25 minutes until tender; test with a knife and remove from heat. Let cool in water.

    Preheat grill to medium-high. Cut octopus tentacles from body (reserve if desired). Lightly oil the grill and grill octopus tentacles and head pieces 3-4 minutes per side until slightly charred and smoky.
  • 5 - Assemble & Serve:
    Toss potatoes with half of the olive dressing, place on a serving platter, arrange grilled octopus on top. Drizzle remaining dressing and scatter the pitted black olives. Garnish with extra parsley and freshly cracked black pepper.
