Italian Stewed Octopus Recipe

This recipe for southern italian stewed octopus with white wine and tomatoes originates in puglia near the heel of italy's boot. Octopus requires long, slow simmering, so keep the temperature low and give yourself plenty of time. This unusual dish is especially good made with baby octopus that you can find frozen in asian markets, but you could use any octopus. Serve with crusty bread or a big pasta, like ziti or penne, for a special weekend meal or a casual summer dinner party.
