Polenta with Meat-Vegetable Sauce
Pane-Bistecca
I made polenta with a meat and vegetable sauce that was very well seasoned. Many of the ingredients I had at home had to go into the sauce!
Polenta itself is relatively bland and very dry, so you have to serve it with something that adds seasoning and sauce. Together they are unbeatable!
I cooked the polenta in the Thermomix, it couldn’t be easier!
