Peposo Toscano

Cultural Context

Originating from Tuscany, Peposo Toscano is a rustic stew traditionally made by the laborers who built the Florence Cathedral. They would slow-cook tough cuts of beef with abundant black pepper and red wine, creating a hearty dish that embodies the flavors of the region. Today, it is cherished as a comforting winter meal, often served with crusty bread to soak up the rich sauce.
