In recent years, the consumption of horse meat has increased significantly. It is highly valued in Asia and Europe, and Italians are the largest consumers of horse meat among Europeans. Even the world-famous Italian sausage "Mortadella" can be found made from horse meat.
Horse meat is one of the purest meats. It is very low in fat and high in protein. It is rich in folic acid, creatine, zinc and vitamin B12. It contains even more iron than spinach. Many doctors recommend it to people who need to follow a diet, avoid fatty foods or suffer from anemia. Horse meat can be prepared in different forms - steaks, minced meatballs, sausages.
Marinating and cooking horse meat
As the horse meat is a bit drier, it is recommended to soak it in the marinade before cooking, thanks to which it will become even more tender, juicy and appetizing.
Marina I type - The first marinade for horse contains white wine, honey, salt and 2 tbsp. beer. Before placing in the marinade, the meat is processed with a hammer to obtain a thinner fillet and salted on both sides. It stays that way for as long as possible.
Marina type II - mix 1 tsp. balsamic vinegar, 1-2 tsp. olive oil and various spices 1 tsp. / thyme, sage, nutmeg, juniper, black and red pepper, rosemary /.
Washed and dried horse meat is cut and poured with the marinade. The longer it stays, the more fragrant it becomes, but in general 12 to 24 hours are enough.
It is then grilled and finally wrapped in foil for about 10 minutes to relax completely.
Marinade type III - It is very easy. The meat is marinated with an appropriate amount of soy sauce and left for several hours.
The next marinade that we will offer to your attention is a challenge for the bash masters, but on the other hand the result is great.
Necessary products: about 1, 500 g of horse meat, salt, pepper, 1 tomato, 1 bunch of parsley, bay leaves, a few cloves of garlic, 1 carrot, thyme, cloves, oil, a few onions, 1, 5 liters of red wine and 1 glass of white dry wine. The meat is sprinkled with salt and pepper, left for two hours in the refrigerator. The marinade is prepared as follows - chop garlic, onion, carrot and tomato. Add the spices and finally pour the wine over the meat. It stays like that for three days in the refrigerator.
Another very suitable horse marinade contains mustard. The meat is cut, sprinkled with pepper and salt, spread with mustard and left to stand for about an hour in the refrigerator.
Horse meat is very easy to prepare in an envelope. The horse steaks are generously greased with oil and placed in a baking bag. Different spices are added - cumin, thyme, black pepper. Pour water into the bag and bake for about 60 minutes. No marinade is required for this method of preparation.
Horse meat pastrami
It turns out that horse meat is also used in some of the most delicious pastrami. The meat must be completely clean - without cartilage, tendons and bones. Arrange a row of meat, a row of sea salt in a suitable container and continue until the quantities are exhausted. Finally it ends with salt. It stays like this between 5 days and 1 week. The meat is then removed from the salt and soaked in cold water for about 6 hours, but the water is changed every hour. The meat is dried very well and rubbed with a mixture of white wine and various spices. This is followed by a drying period of several weeks.
