Does anyone have a recipe for octopus stewed in tomato sauce?

Polipo in Umido
Stewed Octopus by Gennaro Contaldo
from Grigson

Gennaro Contaldo shows just how tender, toothsome and
tasty octopus can be in this sensational slow cooked but simple recipe

Servings: 4

Main:
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 even-sized garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tsp capers
4 even-sized green olives quartered
4 even-sized anchovy fillets
2 even-sized octopuses weighing about 400g each, cleaned (ask your
fishmonger to do this)
1 pinch salt and fresh ground black pepper
10 even-sized cherry tomatoes, squashed
1 handful flat leafed parsley, coarse stalks removed
1 pinch salt

Method
1. Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan (use one in which the octopus
will fit tightly) and add the garlic, capers, olives and anchovies.

2. Once the garlic begins to sweat, add the octopuses and a pinch of
salt. Stir well, lower the heat, and then add the tomatoes and parsley.

3. Cover with a tight fitting lid and cook on a low heat for 1 hour 10
minutes until the octopuses are very tender. During cooking they will
shrink and exude quite a bit of liquid. Adjust the seasoning if
necessary, and then serve.

Hummm...... I prefer to cut the octopus up, steam it and add it to
marinara sauce and serve it over pasta. ;-) Cut up for the big ones, but
I like to buy the baby oct's when available. They sell them in Austin. I
clean and skin them (like a squid but I try to leave the tentacles on)
then stuff them with sausage and mushroom. Baby octo meat balls......

And no, this is not a troll! <lol>

I've recently gotten into the octopus salad that my sushi guy makes. Too bad
this is one of those dishes that I can eat, but couldn't prepare. Ick. Robin

I thought the same. I've not made this recipe yet, but I've seen it made
on the telly and it looks great. I'm hoping to make it Saturday evening
for my SO.

A local Chinese buffet serves baby octopus in a tomato-based sauce. It
probably comes out of a tin. Don't like the sauce, so I get a bowl of
clear soup and dip the octopi in that to wash off the sauce. Delicious!
