How about cooking a small cute octopus for today?
It smells sea with a touch of the earthy bahar (allspice)!
NOTE
Your octopus has to be frozen and then de-frosted in order not to be hard to cook. So even if you have a fresh octopus, put it in the freezer for one night and defrost it and cook it the day after.
1. Wash and clean the octopus, dry it nicely and the put it alone as it is in a casserole in medium fire. Let it release all its water and then let it drink it back.
2. Take it out of the casserole and cut it into small pieces.
3. Fry 2 chopped onions together with the pieces of the octopus. Add 2 tomatoes julienne, 2-3 leaves of laurel, 3-4 grains of allspice and a bit of pepper. Add enough water to cover the food.
4. Meanwhile, boil the pasta (preferably, I use the small macaroni with the hole, like in the picture) as advised in its package.
5. Add 2 tablespoons of the boiling water of the past into the casserole with the octopus.
6. Your octopus is ready when it has "drunk" all the water and only a thick sauce is left over.
7. Mix the pasta into the octopus and enjoy it with the glass of white wine.
Enjoy!!!
