Method
- Put the octopus in a pot with red wine vinegar, bay leaf and black pepper. Cover and simmer in its own juices about 40 minutes until a knife slides in.

- Heat a grill pan until very hot. Grill 2 to 3 minutes per side until charred at the edges.
- Dress with more olive oil, lemon, oregano and capers. Serve with rustic bread.
