NOTES
1. Can I make Peposo without wine? Yes! Replace the wine with beef stock and add a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar for extra flavor.
2. Larger portion? With almost all recipes, you can press the 2x button, except for a slow cooker recipe. If you double the weight of meat, the other ingredients remain the same and you add ¼ cup (50 ml) extra wine.
3. Can I cook it faster on HIGH? Yes, but LOW (6-8 hours) gives the best result. On HIGH, 4-5 hours is enough.
4. Storage
- Make ahead: Peposo tastes even better the next day!
- Refrigerator: Store in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: Keeps for up to 3 months.
- Reheat: Defrost slowly and heat in a pan with a dash of water or wine.
