Octopus in a Pot
1 (2-3 Pound) Octopus
2 Wine Corks
2 Cups White Wine
1/2 Lemon
3 Large Potatoes Cut Into Quarters
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Fresh Chopped Parsley
Place the octopus in a pot with the wine and lemon. Cover the octopus with
water, and place the pot over high heat and bring it to a boil. Turn the heat
down to medium, and cook until tender when pierced with a fork. You'll need to
check the octopus fairly frequently. Once it is tender, cover and remove from
the heat. Allow to cool to room temperature covered.
While the octopus is cooling, boil the potatoes until tender. Remove from
the heat, skin and cut into 2 inch pieces. Place in a bowl and add fresh chopped
parsley and olive oil to coat lightly. Season with salt and pepper.

Rwanda, in east-central Africa, is surrounded by Congo, Uganda, Tanzania,
and Burundi. It is slightly smaller than Maryland. Steep mountains and deep
valleys cover most of the country. Lake Kivu in the northwest, at an altitude of
4,829 ft (1,472 m) is the highest lake in Africa. Extending north of it are the
Virunga Mountains, which include the volcano Karisimbi (14,187 ft; 4,324 m),
Rwanda's highest point.
