Peposo

Cultural Context

Peposo is a traditional Tuscan stew that originates from the Chianti region. Known for its robust flavor, it was originally a dish for bricklayers who appreciated its hearty nature. The dish has become a beloved staple, often enjoyed with crusty bread or polenta. Modern variations may include different cuts of meat or additional vegetables, but the essence of the dish remains the same: a slow-cooked, peppery beef stew that warms the soul.
