Ingredients
2 lb octopus; skinned
2 medium onions; finely chopped
1 cup garlic; finely chopped
1 bay leaf
1 pinch or gano, dry
1/2 teaspoon fines herbes
1 cup wine, dry white
10 tablespoon butter; divided
2 tablespoon tomato paste
16 oz tomato, whole, can
2 cup rice
Cooking Directions:
Pound the octopus in order to tenderize it (not necessary if you use the baby ones), and cut into cubes. Saut the onions in 1/4 lb butter until golden brown; add garlic, bay leaf, oregano, fines herbes, and octopus. Saute for a few more minutes; then add tomato paste, whole tomatoes and wine. Stir well, cover and simmer over low fire for one hour, or until octopus is tender. When octopus is cooked, place 3-1/2 cups water, 1/2 cup of octopus sauce and 2 Tbsp butter in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, add rice, stir, lower heat and simmer for 20 minutes. To serve, shape the rice into individual mounds with a cup, and cover with octopus and remaining sauce. This may be prepared ahead of time and reheated in the oven before serving. It's delicious with boiled greens and white retsina.
