Grilled octopus with fried rice, the recipe.
I’ve tried grilled octopus several times (in Spain, Greece, and Italy) and I love it. Using all my experience and some online tips, I’ve found the perfect recipe for my tastes, which I’ll describe here. The dish is accompanied by fried rice prepared by my wife, and I’ll ask her to write down the recipe.

Ingredients

– a large octopus (fresh or frozen);
– half an onion;

For the marinade:
– oil;
– lemon;
– garlic;
– chili pepper;
– white wine;
– soy sauce;
– salt;
– pepper;
– sweet paprika.

Preparation

First, boil the octopus: add half an onion (and a few other seasonings, if you like) to a large pot of water and boil for about half an hour per half a kilogram of weight.
Once the octopus is cooked (you can test its tenderness with a fork and cook it further if necessary), remove it from the water and let it cool.
When it’s lukewarm, cut it into smaller pieces for the marinade, leaving the tentacles whole.
Now, in a container (I recently bought some airtight plastic bags, very useful for marinades), add all the marinade ingredients and the chicken.
I leave them to infuse for a couple of hours outside the refrigerator to allow the flavors to fully absorb.

Now all you need is a nice grill (or, if you’re lucky, a barbecue), bring it to temperature, and place the octopus on it for a few minutes until it’s crispy and little more.

Plate with fried rice (or any other side dish you like) and you’re ready to enjoy a delicious dish!

It is considered one of the most intelligent invertebrates; for example, it has been shown that the common octopus has the ability to learn when subjected to association learning tests and by observing others of its species, an ability that had only been demonstrated in some mammals. This latter finding is quite surprising, since, since the octopus is a highly solitary animal, such behavior, typical of animals with social relationships, would seem inexplicable.
