3. 3

   Than put octopus, tomato cut in ¼, onion cut in ¼ , olives, crushed garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, and on the tom rosemary. Pour the wine and olive oil. Cover with aluminium cover for households preventing steam to get out: very firmly.

4. 4

   Put in the oven on 200°C for 30-40 minutes.

5. 5

   It is also very good with large white fish, or you can add shrimps to taste, or whatever sea food you like.
