Grilled Octopus with Olive Oil and Lemon
Grilled Octopus with Olive Oil and Lemon is a traditional Mediterranean dish that combines charred octopus with tangy olive oil and lemon juice. It's a great recipe to enjoy during the summer months when grilling season is at its peak, as it's easy to prepare and can be cooked outdoors. The octopus is grilled until tender and slightly crispy on the outside, while the olive oil and lemon juice add a bright and flavorful touch.
