Peposo - Pepper Braised Beef
The discovery of Anakuzhy Pepper inspired us to revisit this classic Tuscan recipe. This recipe was created long ago when tile factory workers used to put a chunk of beef with black pepper in a clay pot with a bottle of chianti. They then left the pots in the heat of a dying oven overnight. It’s easy to see how this dish is best with bread. We also like to serve it with polenta.
