"I always want to inspire you to try something new, that's why, for our “All That Inspires” issue, I wanted to show you how easy it is to cook with one of my favorite ingredients: octopus. When you cook it properly, octopus is wonderfully tender and flavorful—check out our detailed How-To linked below. For me, it’s among the most delicious ingredients from the sea. In the Mediterranean, octopus is used very often. I once saw video of chef Gordon Ramsay making an octopus stew on a boat in Sicily, so I drew off those flavors and little bits of inspiration for this recipe. If you cook the octopus yourself (you can also get it pre-cooked and portioned), be sure to save and use the cooking stock to give the stew an even deeper, richer flavor. If you feel like using other ingredients: The advantage with this stew is that you can also replace the octopus with shrimp, or the swordfish with another solid fish (like a tuna steak). Have fun cooking and enjoy!"
