Never had having this dish before, wasn't sure what to expect. Polenta? Never had this either! To my ignorance it's savory grits or cream of cream! Always having grits or cream of wheat as a breakfast, sweet meal... couldn't like it any other way.As for the osso buco, i did add seasoning to the flour including pepper flakes to give more umph!! And my family liked it wasn't blown away, but I wouldn't call it stew more like a soup. Will make again on cold days and will try couscous as another viewer had done. This is a pretty good crockpot recipe!

I found this recipe to be bland and disappointing.

I used pork stew meat due to the unavailability of veal. The dish is great! Just made it for the second time with the same fantastic results. First time, used couscous, and this time found polenta, which was wonderful! Using a slow cooker is helpful to me due to my inability to stand for long periods of time. So I get it together in about 30 minutes or less, and then forget it. Skipping browning the meat was a step I was tempted to skip, but am glad I didn't. Flavor is so much richer...

You are my favorite chef on the food network. Thank you for making it so easy. I love semi-homemade.

i loved the consistency of this stew... it was nice and thick and not too strong of a tomato taste.

i used dried thyme instead of fresh (1tsp
i could not find polenta so i served it on top of wild mushrom and herb couscous.... delicious!!!

This dish turned out really well! I was worried my two young daughters would not like the polenta, but to my surprise they loved it. The osso buco was delicious - tender and the combination of flavors melded together really well. My only issue was the price of the veal. Even cut up (Veal Stew it was still a lot more expensive than Sandra mentioned on the show. Nevertheless, it is a very tasty meal that my family enjoyed!

Wow!!!!! This dish was so good. We are an Italian-American Family. My husband remembers polenta with just homemade red sauce, as a kid. Today I feed the two of us, my daughter, grandson and a my younger disabled brother. I did not have any trouble finding or asking the meat department for a larger package of veal stew. I have also had the Eggplant Parmesan, and it's a keeper. My family is enjoying all the recipes and I am saving lots on grocery bills. Thank you so much. It's a wonderful show.

I waited too long and had a hard time finding any kind of veal, with the exception of scallopini. Upon my husband's advice, who by the way is a HUGE FAN OF traditional osso buco, went with pork. I found pork meat for stew and two meaty pork "hocks." I used crushed tomatoes (28 oz can and 2 cups of stock. It was WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My only additional comment would be to add the fresh thyme at the end, or in the polenta. I used four HEALTHY sprigs, yet did not taste it until I garnished it with more. Did I say only one comment??? OOPS..One more....the polenta was far from spicy... I would add more red pepper flakes, or add some Frank's with the butter, cheese, and fresh thyme at the end.
