Polvo Grelhado Recipe

Prepare the Octopus

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the whole octopus and cook for about 45 minutes until tender. Remove from the water and let it cool.

Grill the Octopus

Once cooled, cut the octopus into smaller pieces. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the octopus with olive oil, season with salt and black pepper, and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until charred and heated through.

Sauté the Vegetables

In a skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and minced garlic, sauté until the onions are translucent. Then add the sliced red and green bell peppers and cook until they are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Serve

Remove the grilled octopus from the grill, place on a serving platter, and top with the sautéed onions and peppers. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top before serving.
