Grilled Octopus with Lemon-Herb Dressing
Tender octopus grilled to smoky perfection and served over creamy cannellini beans with a bright, zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Cooked octopus tentacles
0.5 cup Cannellini beans
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 tsp Fresh oregano
1 tsp Fresh parsley
1 clove Garlic
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 cup Baby arugula
0.25 cup Red onion
PREPARATION
Preheat a grill or cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat.
Pat the cooked octopus tentacles completely dry with paper towels and lightly brush with a tiny amount of the olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the octopus on the hot grill and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until deeply charred and heated through.
In a small glass jar or bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped oregano, parsley, sea salt, and black pepper.
In a medium bowl, combine the rinsed cannellini beans, baby arugula, and thinly sliced red onion.
Toss the bean salad with half of the lemon-herb dressing and arrange on a serving plate.
Slice the grilled octopus into bite-sized pieces, place over the salad, and drizzle with the remaining dressing before serving.
