Pepper Pots have always been a favorite soup of mine that many don’t know about. Traditionally when people think of the slave trade of American many forget the trail that leads to the Caribbean. It’s this trail that leads us to the pepper pot. It’s easy to connect the dots between a pepper pot and gumbo. This Beef Short Rib Pepper Pot is buttery and perfect on top of some mascarpone grits. Scotch Bonnet peppers are traditionally added for spice. I lean toward adding a spiced okra chutney.
