Octopus stew is a comforting and hearty dish that is perfect for colder days. To make this stew, you will need octopus, olive oil, onion, garlic, bell pepper, canned tomatoes, white wine, paprika, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Start by cleaning the octopus and cutting it into bite-sized pieces. In a large pot, heat olive oil and sauté finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper until they are softened. Add the octopus to the pot and cook for a few minutes until it starts to brown. Then, add canned tomatoes, white wine, paprika, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Simmer the stew for about 1-2 hours until the octopus is tender and the flavors have melded together. Serve the octopus stew hot with crusty bread and enjoy the comforting and flavorful dish.
