Categories     Shellfish     Roast     Easter

Yield 5 people

Number Of Ingredients 12

1000 g octopus
200 g tomato (two tomatoes)
100 g onion (one onion)
400 g potato (sliced almost like chips)
4 garlic cloves
4 black olives
½ cup white wine
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt
pepper
oregano
rosemary (one fresh branch about 15 cm long)

Steps:

  • Use the whole octopus, cut in pieces about 3-5 cm. The best is to use frozen octopus, even if you get fresh one, freeze it - it will be mush softer. Take one large pan for baking in oven. Put some olive oil on bottom and than put potato cut thin almost like chips all around the bottom. Than put octopus, tomato cut in ¼, onion cut in ¼ , olives, crushed garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, and on the tom rosemary. Pour the wine and olive oil. Cover with aluminium cover for households preventing steam to get out: very firmly. Put in the oven on 200°C for 30-40 minutes. It is also very good with large white fish, or you can add shrimps to taste, or whatever sea food you like.

The octopus was a bit tough, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll try cooking the octopus for a shorter amount of time next time.
