Pulled Beef on Polenta Coins

A hit at the PRP member Picnic in the Vineyards.

Polenta Coins
1 cup dry polenta
1/4 cup cream
2 Tbl butter
A decent size pinch of salt

Beef
2 lb beef chuck roast
2 Tbl paprika
2 tsp cumin
Salt and pepper/p>

Put polenta in a medium pot and add water until just covered. Bring to a low boil, then turn on low, add butter and salt. Stir frequently. When polenta starts to thicken, slowly add cream. Remove from heat, cool slightly. Divide polenta into a few batches and rollup in plastic wrap to form a log (approx 2"diameter). Place in fridge until firm, then slice polenta coins onto a baking sheet and broil for 3 minutes until crisp.

Cover the meat in the seasonings. Slow cook in oven or crock pot at 250° for 6 hours or until it falls apart, tender. Taste, add more seasoning if preferred. Enjoy with Husch Vineyards Zinfandel or Cabernet Sauvignon!
