In a frying pan with olive oil, sauté garlic until it is almost blackened, then add the bacon and continue sautéing until the bacon is crisp.

Drain excess oil from pan and pour in the passata, basil, oregano, pepper and wine. Simmer on low for about 20 minutes.

While the Ragu is simmering, start preparing the polenta. Begin boiling 2 3/4 cups of water.

In a separate bowl, combine the corn meal and salt with the remaining cup of water.

Once the water starts boiling, slowly add the cornmeal/water combo into the boiling water and stir constantly. Also add the butter. Stir constantly.

Lower heat to a simmer, cover, and continue simmering for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring often. About halfway through, add the Parmesan cheese and continue stirring.

Daube de boeuf on bacon polenta Daube de boeuf on bacon polenta
I was a little hesitant to post this dish as daube de boeuf, but changed my mind after surfing the 'net and finding about 10 (sometimes very) different ways to make it. Just because something's classic doesn't mean it's not open to interpretation, right? Anyway, for mine I paired the stew with creamy bacon polenta. It was originally going to be plain ol' creamy polenta, but it occured to me it'd be even tastier with a little bacon. And it was. Most things are tastier with a little bacon.

Polenta Polenta
When I attempted to make polenta using delicious corn on the cob, it came out much tastier than the store-bought kind.At first, only add a little bit of water, then add more as needed. This will help prevent it from becoming too watery.I also recommend baking it in the oven for a crispy texture. Recipe by Brandy

I love polenta AND pizza! I combined the two for a girls night I hosted and the polenta pizza was a HUGE hit! I hope you enjoy! (You can make yours with a little less sauce and cheese. Mine were a little messy and you needed to eat with a fork, not quite finger food. I go crazy with cheese and sauce!!)
