Grilled octopus on the egg. This turned out great!!!

Boarcephis

I was at Whole Foods and they had whole octopus so I bought one.  I simmered it at 200 degrees in a concoction of water, juice from a lemon, lime and orange, 5-6 whole cloves of garlic, one rough chopped onion, bunch of salt and rosemary and thyme for about an hour and 15 minutes.  It was a 2 1/2 pound octopus and it was recommended 20-25 minutes per pound. When done I marinated it overnight in a large bowl and covered it with a 2 cup mixture of olive oil, juice from a lime, lemon and orange, 1 TBS minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, crushed red pepper flakes and a bunch of salt.  Threw it on the egg and cooked it about 4 minutes at 400 on each side. It was so tender I could cut it with a fork!!  I made a dipping sauce out of soy sauce, sweet chili sauce and wasabi.  Will definitely do it again.

Very cool cook. Congrats on going outside the box. I am a very adventurous eater, but have not enjoyed the octopus I have eaten. Your recipe looks like it might be the one to win me over.

That’s one of the dishes I have to order every time I see it on the menu. Love octopus and yours looks great-

Nice cook. Would like to try it. Not sure I’m adventurous enough to buy 2 1/2 lbs. Here’s how they do it in China.  I really wanted to ask these guys for a sample.
