Preparation
This, too, is a Portuguese recipe++from the Algarve.
It can be made with octopuses of any size. Baby ones won't need so
much precooking.
Precook 600 to 800 g octopus in 200 mL red wine with a little water.
The octopus will exude liquid so that you are likely to end up with
more cooking liquid at the end.
Retain this and add water to make it up to 600 ea mL. Cut the drained
octopus into small pieces.
Heat 150 mL olive oil in a large saucepan, add a chopped onion and
cook gently, stirring, for 2 or 3 minutes. Add 2 garlic cloves finely
chopped, 3 tomatoes, skinned and chopped, and a large green pepper
cut into snips. Season with salt, pepper and chilli powder to taste.
Cook for a few minutes longer.
Add the cooking liquid from the octopus and bring it to the boil. Add
350 g rice (preferable a short-grain risotto rice like arborio) and
bring back to the boil, then turn the heat very low and put the lid
on the saucepan. After 15 minutes, stir to ensure the rice is not
catching on the bottom of the saucepan. In 5 minutes more, taste a
grain or two to make sure it is soft. The rice should still be quite
damp.
Serve.
Makes 4 servings.

Diet hints and tips
In deciding on a diet, it is essential to attempt to lower your consumption of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
The problems associated with reduced carbohydrate diets
Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Cutting out carbohydrates might mean missing out on vital nutrients from healthy carbohydrate foods which must be part of any well-balanced diet, especially those that we get from grains, vegetables and fruits.
Eating more animal-based products could lead into elevated consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol, which a few authorities believe will increase the risk of heart problems.
Flavonoid superfoods
(inlcudes lettuce, brussels sprouts, yams & basil)
The flavonoids which exist in these fruits and vegetables are thought to have properties in fighting cancer.
Doctors investigating the nutritional effects of flavonoids think that they may well also have most other healthy benefits, including, but not limited to, anti-allergic and antioxidant properties.
The majority of these are also low in calories, so you should add them to your diet system.
