Dan's BBQ Octopus

Hubby is not one to dabble in the kitchen, but when it comes to cooking on the barbie, he's the man!



Serves 4


1kg Baby Octopus - cleaned

1/2 cup Parsley - finely chopped

1 - 2 Red Chillis - finely chopped

5 Cloves Garlic - finely chopped

1/4 cup Olive Oil

Salt and Pepper

Juice of 1 Lemon




Slice each baby octopus in half lengthways.  Drain in a colander for approximately half an hour to remove excess water.

Finely chop the parsley, chilli and garlic and place in a bowl.  To this add the olive oil.

Pre-heat the hot plate on your BBQ.  Drizzle the hot plate with olive oil.

Place octopus on hot plate and BBQ for approximately 15-20 minutes.  Ensure to turn the octopus every so often so they cook evenly.

Once cooked, season with salt and pepper and mix through the parsley mixture whilst still on the hot plate.

Squeeze the lemon juice on top of octopus.

Place in serving bowl and enjoy with a crisp salad and don't forget the crusty bread.  The juices are so full of flavour, you will have everyone bowl dipping.



Enjoy!
