- Cut the drained octopus into small pieces.
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan and add the chopped onion and cook gently, stirring, for 2 or 3 minutes.
- Add the garlic, tomatoes, and chooped pepper, season with salt and pepper to taste and cook for a few minutes longer.
- Add the octopus and cooking liquid from the octopus and bring it to a boil.
- Add rice (preferably a short-grain) and bring back to a boil, then turn the heat very low and put the lid on the saucepan.
- After 15 minutes, stir to ensure the rice is not sticking to the bottom.
- After 5 minutes, taste the rice to make sure it is done.
