Description

These octopuses on skewers can serve as a wonderful hot or cold appetizer, or even as a main dish (for example, if you are on a diet).

Ingredients

Meyer Lemon Juice - 1 fl oz
Garlic - 2 cloves
Octopus - 17.6 oz
Olive Oil - 3 fl oz
Thyme - 3 sprigs

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Prepare the marinade. Mix olive oil with lemon juice, add a little salt and thyme sprigs.

Step 2

Drop the octopuses into boiling water, set a timer for exactly 60 seconds, and after that time, remove them with a slotted spoon, let them cool, and then transfer to the marinade.

Step 3

Marinate for 1–2 hours (those who are particularly impatient can start cooking them after 40 minutes; after all, these are baby octopuses and they don't need much time, but it's better to wait if possible, it will only taste better).

Step 4

Skewer the octopuses on wooden skewers (it is often recommended to soak them in water beforehand to prevent burning during cooking, but I don't do this, they don't burn for me).
