Horse meat carpaccio

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Starters
Although unusual for many, horse meat is a highly valued ingredient in gourmet circles. Sweeter, leaner and richer in iron than beef, eating it raw offers a uniquely clean taste experience. This recipe is about respecting the ingredient: not overpowering, but highlighting the meat's character with salty and acidic accompaniments.

Instructions

1 ✓

Spread the meat on the plate in a single layer. Let stand for 5 minutes at room temperature.

Tip: Too cold meat flavours don't come through. (Tempering).
2 ✓

Make a quick emulsion: mix lemon juice with olive oil, and drizzle over meat.

Tip: Oil coats tongue transmitting flavours, citric acid adds freshness.
3 ✓

Salt and pepper immediately before serving.

Tip: Salt draws water from meat; if salted too early, meat weeps and dries out.
4 ✓

Pile rocket on top, sprinkle with capers.

Tip: Vinegary-salty taste of capers matches sweetness of horse meat perfectly.
5 ✓

Shave Parmesan over it, and serve.

Tip: Use a vegetable peeler for nice, wide cheese shavings.
