\nOCTOPUS STEWED IN WINE AND TOMATOES<\/a>
\nIngredients:
\n\u20221 lb octopus<\/a>, either small or large
\n\u20224 T. olive oil
\n\u20224 cloves finely chopped garlic
\n\u20221 cup crushed tomatoes or peeled, chopped fresh tomatoes
\n\u20221 cup white wine
\n\u20222 T. honey or sugar
\n\u20222 T. chopped fresh dill
\n\u20224 T. chopped fresh parsley
\n\u20221 t. chile flakes
\n\u20222 T. capers (optional)
\n\u2022Salt and pepper
\nPreparation:
\nBring a large pot of salty water to a boil. Toss the octopus into the boiling water, return to a boil and cook for 1-2 minutes, then remove. Discard water.
\nCut the octopus into large pieces and saute in olive oil over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes. Add the chopped garlic and saute for another minute or two.<\/p>\n


\nAdd the wine and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir well and let it cook down for 3-4 minutes. Add the tomatoes and chile flakes and bring to a simmer.
\nAdd about a teaspoon of salt and the honey or sugar. Mix well, cover the pot and simmer for 30 minutes.
\nAt 30 minutes, add the capers if you are using them, plus half the dill and half the parsley. Check the octopus — sometimes small ones will be tender in just 30 minutes.{\/p]
\nIf they are still super-chewy, cover the pot again and simmer for up to another 45 minutes.
\nWhen you think you are about 10 minutes away from being done, uncover the pot and turn the heat up a little to cook down the sauce.
\nTo serve, add the remaining dill and parsley and black pepper. Eat this with pasta or bread either hot or at room temperature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
