Green Beans with Octopus

Ingredients:
½ kilo of green beans
2-3 round sliced carrots
3-4 leaves of celery
1 pepper
2-3 thick chopped onions
A fresh tomato
Salt

Instructions:
Wash and peel the beans. Then, boil them. Also, boil the octopus in another pot without putting anything else in it. When the green beans are half boiled, pour the octopus’ broth on them, all the other ingredients and the whole tentacles, without mixing them. When the sauce thickens, serve the green beans by cutting the tentacles in small pieces and trimming the whole platter with them.

Boil in a pot of water, the sugar and butter. Then, add slowly the semolina while you are mixing the mixture carefully so it will not lump. Once the mixture thickens slightly, remove from the heat and pour half of the desiccated coconut. Shake well and spread it immediately into a large baking pan. Sprinkle with the remaining coconut and let it cool. When it is cool enough, cut into any shape you wish.
