About Game meat, horse, raw
Horse meat, known in some cuisines as chevaline, is a lean red meat eaten in many parts of the world, including France, Italy, Belgium, Central Asia, and Japan, where thin slices of raw basashi are considered a delicacy. It is not part of the food culture in the United States, the United Kingdom, and many other countries, where horses are kept mainly as companion and working animals, but it remains a traditional protein across much of Europe and Asia.
The meat is darker and finer-grained than beef, with a distinctive slightly sweet, rich flavor and very little marbling. Because it is so lean, horse meat is high in protein and iron while being low in fat, and it also supplies zinc and B vitamins. Its leanness means it is best cooked quickly and served rare to medium, made into sausages, or cured, since overcooking dries it out. It appears in steaks, stews, cured meats, and raw preparations depending on the region.
A hot, fast sear suits its lean texture. Choose fresh horse meat from a reputable butcher with a deep red color, keep it well chilled, and use it within a day or two.
