Clean, wash and chop the cuttlefish in pieces.

Leave the head whole.

Put together in pot on a medium heat and simmer them, until the liquids evaporate.

In a saucepan heat oil and saute onions and garlic until they become transparent.

Pour in the cuttlefish and stir them up to high heat for 2 '.

Dissolve the tomato paste in 1 / 4 cup water and pour in with the rest of the ingredients in a saucepan with the cuttlefish.

Cover and simmer them until you are left with very little sauce.

If you cook octopus, boil the water first with 1 cup vinegar for 1 hour.

Drain, clean and cut into pieces.

Continue as the cuttlefish.

Because most octopus like cooking, you may need to add more water during cooking.
