Whole recipe 5 pts on no count

serves 4 as a main course or 8 as a starter

1 kg octopus
1 tablespoon of olive oil (2½ pts)
1 glass dry red wine (2½pts)
2 bay leaves
1 cinnamon stick

Wash the Octopus and cut into pieces.   Place in a medium uncovered pan over a low to moderate heat and cook until all the water has evaporated.   Pour in the Olive oil and the wine.   Add the bay leaves and cinnamon stick and cover.   Simmer over the lowest possible heat until the Octopus is tender and the sauce has thickened. If the sauce thickens before the Octopus is cooked pour in a little water one fifth of a glass at a time.

Very good with NC Chips and a green salad on the side.
