bbq WHAT?

i BBQ octopus now..
i've mastered it. The first time i tried it...........big disaster. but the key is

Octopus Leg (as many as you require)
  • the key is not to cut it up until it is cooked.

Marinade - Greek style

  • Olive Oil (lots of it)
  • Garlic
  • Oregano fresh or dry
  • Lemon juice
  • Salt and Pepper

Put the octopus leg in a bowl or container and pour the marinade on it. Note the octopus will start to turn white because of the acid from the lemon juice will start to cook it. Cover it with gladwrap for 20 mins.

The BBQ should be on by this time and nice and hot..... not it works much better when you cook on coals.

Place the whole leg on the BBQ and let cook for about 5-10mins depending on the thickness. The smaller parts of the legs will cook faster but you just cut them off when necessary.

When the leg is cooked. Place into the untouched marinade you would have had left over. Cut the leg into small peices just like in the picture.

Servce coated with the marinade...

yummo
