ciao italia

Mary Ann chooses the little known Val d'Aosta region of Italy to create one of its classic dishes, Beef Stew with Polenta. The secret to its savory taste is a bountiful bundle of fresh herbs and red wine that steep along with the beef until its fork-tender and ready to ladle on top of hearty, hand-stirred Polenta for a winter's meal that's sublime year-round, whenever the mood strikes you for comforting comfort food.
