So can I actually go out and buy horse meat meant for human consumption?
Dave ...... Recipes anyone?
Horse salad (for the health conscious)
1 1/4 lb. (565 g) horse tenderloin, finely sliced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup (60 mL)extra light olive oil *
1/2 cup (125 mL) red wine
10 cups (2.5 L) mixed gourmet lettuce
1/3 cup (75 mL) fresh chopped coriander
1 onion, minced
In a bowl, mix slices of horsemeat, garlic, 30 mL (2 Tbsp.) oil and red wine; macerate 30 minutes.
In a frying pan, heat the rest of the oil; cook the slices of horsemeat with the marinade over medium high heat; bring to a boil; lower heat; cook about 5 minutes, turning meat only once. Keep hot.
Put lettuce on a plate; sprinkle with coriander.
Add onion; place slices of horsemeat on the salad; lightly cool the marinade; pour over the salad. Serve.
Suggestion
Horsemeat is best when served rare.
