I felt like some baby octopus but didn't find a recipe that appealed to me tonight so thought I'd post this original one that came out well. I've listed ingredients for a single generous serve which is all I was making but you can obviously scale it up easily.

Categories     Octopus

Time 27m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

250 g baby octopus (about half a dozen)
1/2 cup water
1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • Bring water to boil in a small covered saucepan.
  • Place octopus in saucepan, cover and reduce heat to medium-high and cook for 10 minutes. This is a lazy way to steam / boil them.
  • Remove from heat and drain remaining water using the lid.
  • Add olive oil, garlic, parsley, oregano and squeeze the lemon over the top and mix together.
  • Place on preheated medium BBQ grill plate and cook around 2 minutes with the head facing down and around 5 minutes with the tentacles facing down.
