For this summery sous vide grilled octopus dish, octopus gets cooked in the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker before a quick sear on the grill. The flavor and texture is so good, it really only needs an easy lemon-parsley vinaigrette to go along with it. This works as a tapas-style appetizer but also as a healthy main dish when served with grilled vegetables or a salad.
