Horse meat in the oven
Description
Dishes made from horse meat are widely popular in Asia, where people know how to cook it well, enjoy it, and have many recipes. This Tatar-style baked horse meat recipe particularly appealed to me: the meat turns out surprisingly juicy, not dry, and pairs wonderfully with potatoes. To prepare horse meat in the oven, we'll need a heat-resistant casserole dish for baking.

Place in a cold oven, do not cover the pot with a lid. Set the temperature to 200 degrees and let it heat up. After an hour it will start boiling; continue baking the horse meat for another hour. Meanwhile, slice the onion into half-rings and fry in the same skillet used for the horse meat until golden brown. The potatoes and horse meat are done; you can take them out now.
