Braised Short Ribs
Creamy Polenta
By :Instant Brands Culinary Team |

With just 5 ingredients, you can make a show-stopping bowl of heartwarming polenta. While everyone has their special
way of preparing polenta, we prefer to prepare ours with the nutty flavor of grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Serve it with
a dollop of sun-dried tapenade and some parsley.
