Recipe 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
Losing weightIn deciding on a meal plan, it is important to attempt to moderate your consumption of fats, refined carbohydrate and salt.
Some lower carbohydrate diet pointers:
* Replace sugar with a low carb substitute such as splenda. Most recipes that require sugar can be changed to make use of a sugar substitute like splenda. It doesn't weigh the same so you will have to expirement with it and it might not be perfect in every case, but it gives very good results once you have it cracked.
* Use low carb chocolate bars for chocolate muffins. Once you have converted your most popular chocolate chip cookie or chocolate muffins recipe using soya flour, you really don't want to add in those high carb standard chocolate. Chop up a low carbohydrate choccie bar into little pieces and use that in its place.
Carotenoid foods
(includes cilantro, turnip greens and winter squash)
These colorful healthy plants are rich in the carotenoids believed by nutritionalists be a key nutrient in minimizing the risk of cancer, particularly those cancers involving the lung, esophagus and stomach. Most are low in calories, so you should add them to your weight loss regime.
