OCTOPUS WITH GREENS

Εκτέλεση

1.	Boiling:
2.	Put the octopus, vinegar and half of the bay leaves in a similar dhava and bring to a boil.
3.	Stir occasionally and if water is needed, add water until it boils, about an hour or more, depending on the quality of the octopus.
4.	When boiled, rinse them with lukewarm water to remove the slime.
5.	Then carefully remove their armpits by pulling them towards the ends of the legs and discard them, but be careful not to remove the suction cups, because they are very tasty.
6.	Then we remove the head and belly, clean the eyes, their mouth and the black mucus-slime of the belly, which we throw away.
7.	Then, according to your preference, cut them into small bite-sized pieces or large pieces to form a portion.
8.	Cooking:
9.	In a similar dhava, add the oil and the onion and fry them.
10.	Add the 1 kilo of wine and once the alcohol has evaporated, add the garlic, bay leaf, nutmeg, allspice and the tomatoes or diluted tomato paste (if you want them red).
11.	Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
12.	When the flavors are combined, add the octopus and stir.
13.	Add the greens, stirring constantly until they are well wilted.
14.	Let them boil, covering the pot, always taking care not to let them stick, because octopuses have this property.
15.	It is best not to add water, but if necessary add more and bring to a boil, stirring regularly.
16.	We don't add salt, because the octopuses get their own. Taste before removing from the heat and add more if necessary.
17.	When they boil they should have very little liquid and then if you chose to cook them without sauce, add the lemon, stir well and turn off the heat.
18.	They are served hot or cold.
19.	Tip:
20.	You can have the greens of your choice previously boiled, cut and drained and add them to the pot ready to use.
21.	We follow the same procedure when we want to cook them with green beans, okra, eggplants or other vegetables.
