步骤说明
- 1
Fill a large Pot with enough water to fully submerge the Octopus. Add the halved Onion, smashed Garlic, Bay Leaves, Black Peppercorns, Dry White Wine (if using), and Kosher Salt. Bring to a boil ^[over high heat].
- 2
Once boiling, grasp the Octopus by the head and dip just the tentacles into the water 3 times, holding for about 5 seconds each dip. This curls the tentacles and helps them hold their shape. Then fully submerge the Octopus in the Pot.
- 3
Reduce the heat to ^[a low simmer] — you want gentle bubbling, not a rolling boil. Cover and cook for 45–60 minutes, until the Octopus is completely tender. Test by piercing the thickest part of a tentacle with a Knife or skewer — it should slide in with almost no resistance.
- 4
Remove the Octopus from the Pot and let it rest on a Cutting Board for 10 minutes.
- 5
While the Octopus rests, whisk together the Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, Lemon zest, Lemon Juice, minced Garlic, Parsley, Oregano, and Red Pepper Flakes (if using) in a small Mixing Bowl. Season with Kosher Salt to taste. Set aside.
- 6
Preheat your Grill to ^[high heat] (![at least 450°F]). While it heats, cut the Octopus into individual tentacles and separate the head into 2–3 manageable pieces. Pat everything very dry with paper towels — dry surface = better char.
- 7
Brush or toss the Octopus pieces with Olive Oil and season with Kosher Salt and Black Pepper.
- 8
Place the Octopus on the hot Grill grates. Grill without moving for 2–3 minutes per side until deep char marks form and the skin is slightly crispy and caramelized. The Octopus is already cooked — you're just adding color and texture here.
- 9
Transfer the grilled Octopus to a platter or Cutting Board. Immediately drizzle generously with the lemon-herb dressing while still hot, so it soaks in.
- 10
Arrange on a serving platter. Scatter Capers over the top if using, sprinkle with fresh Parsley, and serve with Lemon wedges on the side. Pairs beautifully with crusty bread, roasted potatoes, or a simple arugula salad.
