I hear dog is a little gamey unless prepared properly. Horse is better than beef.
It's leaner and tastier. We can't get it here but I had it a few times in Brazil.

Horse is very popular in Canada. Most of it comes from the USA tho. Funny you can't buy it locally. Prepared right, it is delicious.

hard to understand why they wont let horse meat be sold here, with people so conscientious about health these days and horse meat being good for you you would think they would open the market up.

This is my favourite recipe for HORSE. Served with horse radish sauce of course...

Recipe ingredients
-2 Tbsp. (30 mL) Irresistibles extra virgin olive oil*
-2¨ù lb. (1 kg) horsemeat roast
-Irresistibles Dijon mustard* as needed
-Salt and pepper to taste
Blue cheese-horseradish sauce
-3 Tbsp. (45 mL) blue cheese, crumbled
-3 Tbsp. (45 mL) sour cream
-5 tsp. (25 mL) minced chives
-5 tsp. (25 mL) prepared horseradish or wasabi (Japanese horseradish) powder
-5 tsp. (25 mL) light mayonnaise*
-Freshly ground Irresistibles peppercorns* to taste


Preparation
Preheat oven to 425¡ÆF (210¡ÆC).
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear roast all sides.
Rub with mustard and season.
Roast 10 minutes.
Reduce temperature to 350¡ÆF (180¡ÆC) and continue to cook to desired degree of doneness.
Take meat out, cover loosely with foil and let stand.
In a bowl, mix sauce ingredients together.
In a skillet, bring sauce to a boil.
Lay sliced meat on a bed of sauce.


Suggestion
Cooking time: the best way to check doneness is with a meat thermometer, which shows the meat¡¯s internal temperature. Rare ¡ª 125¡ÆF (55¡ÆC). Medium ¡ª 150¡Æ F (65¡ÆC). Well-done ¡ª 170¡Æ F (77¡ÆC). It is important to take the roast out of the oven 5 to 10 minutes before it¡¯s done as its internal temperature interne will continue to rise a little.

Sounds really good. Hold the mayo and blue cheese and add lots of wassabi. Yum.


This is a perfect example of how anything, with proper preperation, can be a gourmet
meal. I think Southernchick should definatley eat those peacocks.
