Tellicherry Peppered Chavrie Sliders

Corrinne J's Note:

This slider recipe is simple yet gourmet. Tellicherry pepper is considered one of the most complex, balanced and elegant of the black peppers. It is actually a special type of Malabar Pepper which has been allowed to ripen completely so that it develops more flavor, sugar and size.
