Ingredients - Serves 4

Rinse the octopus under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Place the octopus in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the octopus is tender, about 45 minutes.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Remove the octopus from the pot and pat dry. Brush with the olive oil mixture.
Grill the octopus for 2-3 minutes on each side, until charred and crispy.
Serve the grilled octopus with a drizzle of the remaining olive oil mixture.
