Pasta Screws with Wine by Elder Nektarios

Put the octopus and the vinegar in a pan. Pour as much water as needed so as the octopus is fully covered and let it boil for an hour. Put the lentils and the onions in another pan. Add 3 cups of water and boil for 30 minutes. Drain the octopus and let it cool. Remove its slimy skin and cut in pieces. Pour the lentils with their broth into an ovenproof utensil. Spread the pieces of octopus over the lentils. Add the rice, the fresh spring onion, the tomato, the peppers, salt and black pepper. Pour the oil and mix gently. Bake to 180 degrees for 40 minutes or until the rice swells and remains only the oil.

Saute onion in oil, add the tomato, ketchup, salt, pepper and bring to a boil. Wash and cut the leeks into sticks or logs. Pour the sauce we made and add the carrots and some water. Bring to a simmer. Before serving, sprinkle with the lemon juice.

O angel of God, my holy guardian, given to me from heaven, enlighten me this day, and save me from all evil. Instruct me in doing good deeds, and set me on the path of salvation. Amen.

O angel of Christ, holy guardian and protector of my soul and body, forgive me everything wherein I have offended you every day of my life, and protect me from all influence and temptation of the Evil One. May I never again anger God by my sins. Pray for me to the Lord, that He may make me worthy of the grace of the All-Holy Trinity, and of the blessed Mother of God, and of all the saints. Amen.
