Grilled Octopus with Lemon-Herb Vinaigrette
Tender octopus charred on a hot grill and drizzled with a zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette, served over a bed of protein-rich chickpeas and peppery arugula.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz cooked octopus tentacles
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic
2 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tsp fresh oregano
0.5 cup canned chickpeas
1 cup baby arugula
2 tbsp red onion
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat the pre-cooked octopus tentacles completely dry with paper towels to ensure a crisp char.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and oregano to create the vinaigrette.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly brush the octopus with a teaspoon of the vinaigrette.
Grill the octopus for 3-4 minutes per side until the edges are beautifully charred and smoky.
In a medium bowl, toss the chickpeas, arugula, and thinly sliced red onion with half of the remaining vinaigrette.
Slice the grilled octopus into bite-sized pieces and arrange over the salad, drizzling with the final spoonfuls of dressing.
