"@bgtimber75: try it with brisket. I think the ingredients would go well with brisket and the polenta surely will. Good luck.

"This was delicious! However, I could not cook it on high in my slow cooker for the full two hours. I ended up cooking it on high for one hour and then on low for the second hour. Also, I would have been hard-pressed to stretch this for four eaters - not four of my eaters. Next time I will triple the recipe. But it was fan-tastic! Oops. I meant to say I only cooked the polenta, not the ribs.

"Alas, I have found several of Ina's recipes to be lacking in something. Either the directions are not clear or perhaps there are typos. She needs a food editor!! This is not the first recipe of hers I have prepared only to have it not turn out as shown. It is confusing when the TV show steps do not match the online recipe. Too bad because these ingredients are expensive. I will not attempt this one again.
