Directions:
- Beat the octopus with a meat hammer or against the concrete (as they do in Greece) to soften it up.
- This may take 15 minutes or more.
- Cut and clean the octopus into pieces about twice the size of a serving because the meat will shrink when cooked.
- Combine the vinegar, a 1/4 cup of olive oil, the garlic, some oregano, salt and pepper.
- Place marinade in large ziploc bag and add octopus.
- Marinate overnight for best results but 3 hrs in the fridge will do.
- To cook, warm the BBQ to low-medium heat and lay the meat on the grill.
- Baste with a mixture of the remaining olive oil, the juice from the lemons, and the oregano, being careful not to cause a flame to erupt in the BBQ.
- When the octopus is done (about 15 minutes), plate, and pour the remaining marinade over the removed octopus and serve.
