Ciao a tutti,

OK I understand this recipe may be hard for some but, in Italia Cavallo is part of culture and traditions. There many butcher shop that specialise in Cavallo, In north Italia this serve with Polenta, in Napoli we serve crusty fresh breads, also need strong red vino to go with. Cavallo is less fat than beef with much iron, it taste similar as beef but sweeter. I make with Chilli is one of few meals I enjoy hot an spicy. I make picture today as I make for Ray. This recipe come from Salento in Apulia but typical in south Italia.
So for this need-
  • 500 gr Cavallo.
  • 1 onion
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 Stick celery
  • 1 bunch flat leaf Parsley
  • ½ litre of vegetable stock
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • 1 clove of garlic, crush
  • Pepper and Chilli flakes for taste
  • A good amount olive oil
  • 1 glass of white wine
  • 1 kg of tomato passata make with San Marzano if can.
This methods -
  1. Brown the Cavallo in deep pan and put aside.
  2. Pour good amount of olive oil inside pan, add fine chop onion, chop celery an garlic an cook so soft an translucent.
  3. Place Cavallo back inside pot and add glass white wine to reduce.
  4. Cover Cavallo with stock an put inside parsley, bay leaf an rosemary.
  5. Cover pot an bring to boil. Reduce heat an allow for simmer.
  6. Allow simmer for at least 1 hour or so liquid is reduce, then add salt, pepper and chili for taste an add the passata.
  7. Cook for half an hour or 40 minutes more until the Cavallo become soft and Sugo thick.
Ray like this to have with Tagliatelle he sit with crusty breads an dip slow in to Sugo. This may no be acceptable to all but it beautiful.

That's a fairly big no-no in the US. Some states have banned it entirely and I remember a couple of years ago, a restaurant in Pennsylvania was cited by the feds for serving it, even though they technically weren't doing anything illegal, I think.

Ciao Bello I think people have issue to eat horse, but it in many way better than cow.

I would try eating horsemeat. If I liked it, I'd say so, if I didn't like it, I'd say I didn't like it.

Dogs don't seem to mind it. :whistling:
