We mix all the ingredients carefully and gently. We bake it in 180 degrees for 50 minutes. We sprinkle it when it is still hot with the hot syrup.

After we have soaked, washed   and   peeled  the beans, we start boiling them. We also boil the octopus in another pot  without putting anything else in it. When the green beans are half boiled, we  pour  the octopus’ juice on them, all the other ingredients needed  and the whole tentacles in the pot, but we don’t mix them.
When the sauce is boiled down, we serve the green beans by cutting the tentacles in small pieces and trimming the whole platter with them.

As we know from the writings in the Old Testament, wine acquired distinctive symbolism. After the flood, Noah planted and managed to create his own vineyard. In Exodus, God gave a promise to bless three significant goods for human life: bread, water and wine. The lands and climate in the regions of Hebron and Palestine were conducive for the cultivation of vineyards. Viticulture flourished in a short time and gained great demand, as people cultivated their vines to produce the blessed wine. David hymns wine through his psalms, saying: "And wine that makes glad the heart of man..." (Psalm 104:15) and "You have put gladness in my heart, More than in the season that their grain and wine increased" (Psalm 4:7).
