Meat
Dried
Dried horse meat is lean strips or shredded flesh preserved by air-drying, smoking, or modern dehydration—familiar as Central Asian qurta-adjacent travel foods and Italian-style bresaola-like products in some regions. Low fat means clean drying but a risk of toughness if slices are thick. Season with salt and spice, dry until leathery and shelf-stable, and store airtight. Eat as jerky, shave into salads, or rehydrate into stews. Quality tracks freshness of the raw meat and even drying temperature.
