Support Kazylyk at the "Tastes of Russia" competition
The Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan nominated an ancient dish of the Bulgarian cuisine kazylyk for the first national competition of regional brands "Tastes of Russia".
Its preparation in ancient times was considered an almost sacred ritual. The whole family took part in it, in strict accordance with the canons of Islam, because the prosperity of the clan depended on this.
Kazylyk was made most often from horse meat, because a horse for nomad is both a way of transportation, food and clothing.
Earlier, ready-made Kazylyk was stored together with grain: the grain breathes, maintaining a constant temperature in the chest, and the meat is stored longer. The finished product could be eaten raw or added into a fragrant shurpa.
The dish is distinguished by its delicate taste and firm elastic structure. The cut has a deep ruby red color with fat streaks. The pieces of meat and fat are mixed.
Horse meat is an easily digestible dietary meat containing a large amount of complete protein, optimally balanced in terms of amino acid composition. It is completely digested in the human body in just 3 hours.
Nowadays, kazylyk is prepared from young healthy horses raised in ecologically clean areas and fed with natural feed. They use the finest horse meat, traditional spices and no artificial additives, colors or flavor stimulants to preserve the natural taste and aroma.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan recalls that a popular vote was organized on the Tastes of Russia website from November 19 to December 2. You can vote for the nominee there.
