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.

Food Tips of the Week
A few tips on healthy eating
In planning a diet, the important thing is to also endeavour to restrict your ingestion of refined carbohydrates, salt and fats.
Some lower carbohydrate diet pointers:
* Replace sugar with splenda.
Most recipes that require sugar can be changed to make use of splenda. It is much lighter so you will need to do a bit of trial and error and it might not work in every case, but it does a decent job once you have it cracked.
Foods containing carotenes
(includes paprika, collard greens and tomato puree)
These orange and green natural foods are rich in carotenes believed by nutritionalists play a key role in minimizing the risk of cancer, particularly cancers of the stomach and lesophagus. A good number also have a low calorie count, so should be included in every weight loss program.
