Step

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Grill the octopus tentacles for approximately 30-40 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are charred on the outside and tender on the inside. Cooking time may vary depending on the size and thickness of the tentacles.

Step

Remove the grilled octopus from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

Step

Slice the grilled octopus into bite-sized pieces.

Step

Arrange the torn lettuce leaves on a serving platter or individual plates.

Step

Place the grilled octopus pieces on top of the lettuce.

Step

Drizzle the dish with fresh lemon juice and an extra drizzle of olive oil, if desired.

Serve the Grilled Octopus with Lettuce and Lemon immediately, accompanied by lemon wedges on the side.

Tips for this recipe

To tenderize the octopus before grilling, you can either blanch it in boiling water for a few minutes or freeze it overnight and then thaw it before grilling. For added depth of flavor, you can marinate the octopus in the olive oil mixture for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator before grilling.
