There are several stories about this dish, but they all connect it to Filippo Brunelleschi, the Reinassance genius who projected the Duomo of Florence.
Peposo is a beef stewed with pepper and Chianti which was cooked in the same ovens where they cooked the terracotta tiles used for the Duomo of Florence.
It’s a long dish as the beef must cook for three and a half hours, but the final result is such a tasty and tender beef.
I like it with fried polenta, but it’s great also with toasted bread.
