👨‍🍳 조리법

1
If using fresh octopus, tenderize it by boiling in water with a bay leaf and a pinch of salt for about 45-60 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and cut into bite-sized pieces. If using pre-tenderized or frozen octopus, skip this step but ensure it's cooked through in the stew.
2
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Add minced garlic and chopped bell pepper, and cook for another 5 minutes until the pepper softens.
4
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, bay leaf, salt, pepper, and optional piri-piri. Bring to a simmer.
5
Add the cooked octopus pieces to the sauce. Pour in the white wine and bring back to a gentle simmer.
6
Cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and let it simmer for at least 30-45 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the octopus to absorb the sauce.
7
Stir in most of the chopped coriander and parsley a few minutes before serving. Reserve some for garnish.
8
Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs.
