Instructions

Step 1
Lightly coat the pork cheeks with flour. Heat olive oil in a pan and sear the meat until well browned on all sides.
Step 2
Lower the heat and add the carrots cut into pieces, cooking briefly to release their flavor.
Step 3
Add the tomato sauce, covering the meat partially, then season with salt and black pepper. Cover and cook slowly on low heat for about 1 hour until tender.
Step 4
Prepare the polenta separately by cooking it in salted boiling water until creamy and smooth.
Step 5
Serve the pork cheeks with carrots and their sauce over a bed of polenta.
