Enter the uncomplicated combination of green chili, garlic, and juicy. The addition of parsley and rosemary lend their verdant freshness whilst conveniently seedless citrus makes for easy squeezing. Marinated in a generous amount of EVOO before being grilled over the coals, the baby octopuses take on a smoky sapidity, enhanced with a brush of rosemary and a drizzle of lemon.
