olagarroa II

We just had a great octopus dish with an incredible Austrian wine:

I boiled the large octopus for 45 minutes, remove from heat and chop into 1/2 pieces
Dice 1/4 garlic and 1/4 jalapeno or other spicy pepper
Saute garlic and jalapeno in oil
Add octopus

Chop 2 cups spinach, toss with olive oil & balsamic

Boil 1/2 cup quinoa with 1 cup water for 15 minutes covered
Remove from heat and let sit covered for 10 minutes

Place greens around the side of the plate in a large circle
Place quinoa in the hole in the middle of the place
Scatter octopus over greens and grains

We had Ecker Eckhof
Zweigelt Brillant 2009
(I'd like to try this bottle in 5-10 years!)
