  This ultra-simple Italian recipe can be served over
  rice or pasta. Any size of octopus will do.
  
  Clean 600-800 g octopus and cut it into chunks. Keep
  the ink sac if you want to add the ink to the sauce
  for a richer flavour. Brown 2 cloves of finely chopped
  garlic in 4 tablespoons of olive oil, then add the
  octopus. Cover and cook over a low heat for 10
  minutes. Add 125 mL dry sherry and the contents of a
  large can of Italian peeled tomatoes. Break up the
  tomatoes, add the contents of the ink sac if using and
  salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook gently for
  about an hour, or until tender, stirring from time to
  time.
