Braised pork and Mushrooms in a tomato based sauce over polenta

The Polenta made with the linked recipe. I finished with an extremely good olive oil but it still was missing something imo. Used a good corn meal Bobs red mill medium ground and presoaked for 12 hours. cook time about 45 minutes, before the finishing step. Was good but mildly disappointed.https://www.seriouseats.com/smooth-creamy-polenta-recipe
