Preparation
- After washing and preparing the octopus, place it in a pot, cut into small pieces, with water (about 4 cups), a pinch of salt, and a drizzle of olive oil.
- Once cooked, make a sauté with olive oil, chopped garlic, and onion. Add the octopus (without the cooking water) and let it sauté for a while.
- Add the wine, mix well, and let it cook (initially over high heat and uncovered, to evaporate the alcohol, then over low heat with the pot covered).
- When the sauce has almost completely evaporated, add the rice and mix everything well.
- When the rice starts to dry out, add the indicated amount of hot water (which will be the cooking water from the octopus plus additional boiled water).
- Let it cook until the rice is cooked but still fluffy.
