Ingredients

  1. 1.5–1.8 kg octopus, cleaned
  2. 3 tbsp olive oil
  3. Zest of 2 limes
  4. Juice of 2 limes
  5. 3 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
  6. 1 tsp sugar
  7. 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  8. Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  9. Extra lime wedges, to serve

Method

  1. In a large bowl, combine the octopus with olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, chopped coriander, sugar, and crushed garlic. Season generously with salt and freshly ground pepper. Stir thoroughly to coat the octopus evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight for the best flavour.
  2. Heat a chargrill pan or barbecue flat plate and lightly grease it. Grill the octopus in batches for 5-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tentacles curl and the octopus turns a pinkish hue.
  3. Arrange the cooked octopus on a plate with a bed of rocket leaves, if desired, and serve with additional lime wedges for squeezing over. Enjoy immediately.
