Every year my wife's family has a polenta dinner. There were different types of tomato sauce to go with the polenta, something for everyone. I enjoyed the stirring of the corn meal. It was almost meditative. Today I started tomorrow's dinner. I am letting the polenta set over night so that I can grill it before dinner.
The sauce was also prepared today. I boiled the pork in water with garlic and onion powder and some vinegar to help break the fibers down. After the pork has been boiling for a few hours, I removed the meat and cleaned the fat off of it. I then pulled the pork into shreds and added it to the tomato sauce. I also added some roasted peppers to the sauce.
Once the sauce is done and the polenta has been grilled, I would assemble them and grate some romano cheese on top. I recommend a red wine to go with this dish.
