This recipe presents a single grilled octopus prepared in three different flavourful ways. The octopus is first cooked in its own juices until tender, then grilled for a smoky finish. It is divided and dressed with three separate marinades featuring ingredients like lemon, garlic, oregano, and coriander seed. The result is a trio of distinct tastes from one simple cooking process.
