There's a good reason why it's a favorite summertime dish all around the Mediterranean basin. Tenderized octopus is char-grilled and drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, a squeeze of fresh lemon, and a sprinkling of fresh parsley. Grill the octopus over high heat until you get a little bit of charring here and there; they're already cooked, so you are just adding flavor. Drizzle your grilled octopus with really good olive oil, grind some black pepper over them and serve with a wedge of lemon – and a shot of ouzo. Cut octopus into large serving pieces, brush it with half the olive oil, and sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
