GRILLED OCTOPUS

1 octopus
5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 cup vinegar
3/4 cup olive oil
4 squeezed lemons
1 tbsp oregano
Salt
Pepper

1. Beat the octopus with a hammer or against the concrete to tenderize. This may take 15 minutes or more.
2. Cut and clean the octopus into pieces about twice the size of serving because the meat will shrink when cooked. Marinate in vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic, some oregano, salt and pepper.
3. To cook, warm the BBQ to low-medium heat and lay on the meat.
4. 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.
5. When cooked, pour the remaining marinade over the octopus and serve
