GREEK GRILLED OCTOPUS: ■Serves 6 ■1 whole raw octopus- medium sized ■5 Cloves Garlic (Finely chopped) ■4 Whole Lemons (Squeezed) ■1 Whole Octopus ■3/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil ■1 Tablespoon Oregano ■1-2 Pinch Pepper (To taste) ■2-3 Pinch Salt (To taste) ■1 Cup red wine Vinegar ■Beat the octopus with a meat hammer or against the concrete (as they do in Greece) to soften it up. ■This may take 15 minutes or more. ■Cut and clean the octopus into pieces about twice the size of a serving because the meat will shrink when cooked. ■Combine the vinegar, a 1/4 cup of olive oil, the garlic, some oregano, salt and pepper. ■Place marinade in large ziploc bag and add octopus. ■Marinate overnight for best results but 3 hrs in the fridge will do. ■To cook, warm the BBQ to low-medium heat and lay the meat on the grill. ■Baste with a mixture of the remaining olive oil, the juice from the lemons, and the oregano, being careful not to cause a flame to erupt in the BBQ. ■When the octopus is done (about 15 minutes), plate, and pour the remaining marinade over the removed octopus and serve.
