Instructions

  1. You also need 3 corks.
  2. Cut off the head of the octopus and skin and wash both the head (without innards) and the body as much as possible.
  3. Put on a brew of 3 liters of water, wine, bay leaves, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 3 corks. Now place the octopus pieces in the lukewarm brew and slowly bring to the boil over medium heat so that it just bubbles very weakly. Then hold the heat for 1 hour. Then turn off the stove and let the octopus steep for another 20 minutes.
  4. Prepare a marinade of lemon juice, cloves of garlic, 4 tablespoons of olive oil, parsley and salt.
  5. Brush the cooked octopus with the marinade and grill over 2 x 4 minutes at maximum heat.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
