HORSE MEAT WITH TOMATO SAUCE
Ingredients:
1 kg of horse (muscle)
1 kg of tomato sauce
100 ml of red wine
1 stalk of celery
2 bay leaves
Hot pepper
Salt
Pepper
Arrange the pieces of horse in a large pan, add the bay leaves, peppercorns and the stalk of celery cut into pieces and covered with water. Cook for about an hour and a half, salting slightly when the water comes to a boil.
Then drain the water, keeping a little bit of it aside. In a terracotta pan, let the meat brown with a little oil. Blend with the wine. Add the tomato sauce and about 200 ml of the meat broth obtained from cooking in the water. Add salt and cook over a low heat for about 3 hours (if the sauce should thicken too much, add a ladle of broth). Serve the pieces of horse with the sauce with plenty of homemade bread.
