Greek Meze Octopus

Method

• Turn on the broiler and pre-heat the grill.
• Smash the garlic and mix with the vinegar and oregano. Transfer the marinade to a baking dish. The size of the dish will depend on the size of the octopus you are using.
• Place the octopus in the marinade and cover it with olive oil. Leave for at least a few minutes.
• Remove the octopus from the marinade. Broil it on high for about 35 minutes, until it is soft and slightly blackened.
• When the octopus is done broiling, remove it from the oven.
• Lower the heat to low and add the marinade for a few minutes. Let it sizzle until the alcohol burns off.
• When the marinade starts sizzling, transfer the octopus to a serving dish. Cut it into small pieces before presenting it to your friends.
• Serving Suggestions: Serve them as a starter, with crusty French bread and olives.
