Instructions

If the baby octopus isn’t pre-cleaned, remove the beak and ink sac, then pat dry.

Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat and sear octopus 2–3 minutes per side until reddish-brown; remove and set aside.

Reduce heat to medium, add garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté 1 minute until fragrant.

Pour in white wine and scrape up browned bits; simmer 1 minute, then stir in diced tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper and bring to a gentle simmer.

Return octopus to the pot, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 45–60 minutes until tender.
