ARROZ DE POLVO (OCTOPUS RICE)

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Seafood Portuguese

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 lb Octopus
1 c Red wine
3/4 c Olive oil
1 Onion — chopped
2 Garlic clove — finely chopped
3 Tomato — skinned chopped
1 lg Bell pepper, green — chopped
Salt — to taste
Pepper — to taste
Chilli powder — to taste
1 lb Rice, short grain

Precook octopus in 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 2-1/2 cups. Cut
the drained octopus into small pieces.

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan; add a chopped
onion and cook gently, stirring, for 2 or 3 minutes.
Add garlic, tomatoes, and pepper. 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 rice (preferably 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.

Title: MEAD BY EUELL GIBBONS
Categories: Alcohol, Beverages, Honey
Yield: 1 gallon

1 ga Water
4 lb Honey
6 Cloves
2 Sticks cinnamon
Juice peel from one lemon
1 ts Activated dry yeast

In a large nonreactive pot, add the next four ingredients to the
gallon of water. Boil all together for 30 minutes, then strain into
a crock that will hold it with a little room to spare. When cooled,
add the yeast, dissolved in some of the liquid. Allow to ferment in
a cool place – 55 degrees is ideal – until it ceases bubbling and the
liquor clears, then bottle, cap tightly and store in a cool, dark
cellar. It should not be used for at least a month, and longer is
better.

Mead unlike many other drinks, does not improve with really long
aging, so it should be consumed within a year of the time it was
made. ;+}
