Peppered (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pelted

'peppered' is the definition.
('pelt' can be a synonym of 'pepper')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for pelted that I've seen before include "Hurled, snowballs say" , "Bombarded; dashed" , "Threw missiles at or rained heavily" , "Hurled, snowballs maybe" , "Ran fast" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
