I’m Howard Mets and this is Mets Made It. Ever tried grilled octopus at home? It’s way easier than you think. Go ahead and combine some olive oil, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, minced garlic, and season with salt and pepper to your liking. All right, follow me outside. We’ll go to the grill. After marinating for about 15 minutes, go ahead and grill on medium to high heat, two to three minutes per side, until octopus is looking smoky and charred. Finish with lemon, a drizzle of olive oil, and extra oregano. Smoky, tender, and straight out of the Mediterranean. Mets made it. Sleep over
