Clean the octopus. Beat it with a wooden mallet so as to tenderise. Cut it into roughly 2cm pieces. Then cut the carrot and onion into slices. Fry the carrot and the onion in a little oil. Add the octopus and sauté for a few minutes. Add the tomato passata, and then the spices and stir. Add a little water and bring to the boil. Then add some dry oregano and chopped parsley and simmer for about an hour. Serve alongside some boiled potatoes cut into slices.
