Braised Short Ribs w/ Creamy Polenta

More often than not, the simplest of dishes are the most delicious. Simple dishes don't have lots of ingredients to hide behind and their true colors, (and flavors!) shine through! These short ribs are braised, meaning cooked at a low temp for many hours, covered with liquid. The result? Meat that melts in your mouth. A slow cooker is perfect for braising, although the oven works fine too. The preparation makes them ideal for dinner parties, where you want to enjoy your guests and they'll still think you slaved away in the kitchen all day. Just go along with it-they won't suspect a thing. It'll be our little secret.
