Orecchiette with horse meat ragù

Orecchiette with horse meat ragù is a traditional dish of Apulian cuisine, particularly appreciated for its intense and rich flavour.

Traditional Apulian orecchiette are rigorously handmade, and they owe their name to their shape, which resembles small ears.

The horse meat ragù is prepared with horse meat slow-cooked over a low heat for a long time in tomato sauce, onions, red wine and a selection of aromatic herbs.

This dish is a perfect example of how Apulian cuisine is able to bring out the best of simple yet high quality ingredients through traditional cooking techniques.

The robust flavour of the ragù pairs perfectly with the porous texture of the orecchiette, creating a true explosion of taste.
