We will describe a recipe for how to prepare khasyp, but in practice only the most virtuoso housewives with strong nerves can implement it. In addition, it is advisable to have a colorful Central Asian bazaar nearby with all the main components of khasyp (lamb intestines, for example, which are sold there already washed and peeled - a sight, of course, not for the faint of heart, and other lamb offal).

In Soviet times, everyone had the pleasure of trying horse sausage. Few people now know that it can be a real delicacy. But among the Turkic peoples, not a single holiday is complete without kazylyk made from horse meat. This meat snack can be boiled, raw smoked, or dried. Most often this delicacy is boiled. It is quite difficult to prepare kazylyk, or simply kazy, at home. At the same time, you need to know what kind of meat to choose, how to prepare the intestines for stuffing, cooking technology, how long to cook kazy.

Preparation of raw materials

The main components for preparing kazy are meat and intestines. The most delicious snack is obtained if you manage to get the meat of a young horse. Anyone who cooks this dish regularly knows that the meat of fattened horses is used for kazy. They have a sufficient amount of fat. Sausage is usually made from the rib portion of the meat.

Horse or beef intestines are used as casing. To get real Kazakh sausage, it is better to take natural horse casings. They should be turned inside out, washed in cold water, scrubbed well using coarse salt, then rinsed thoroughly several more times in hot water.

Advice! For the convenience of stuffing the kazy, the prepared shells are cut into pieces 45 - 50 centimeters long.

What do we know about horse meat?

Horse meat is horse meat used for food. It tastes like beef, but is tougher in texture. To prepare various dishes, they take the meat of young horses (about 3 years old) and foals. To achieve softness of the meat, it is cooked for a very long time, at least 2 hours, but the meat of a young foal (10-12 months) is cooked better and faster.

Due to the specificity of its taste, not everyone will like horse meat. But people suffering from allergies can safely eat sausage or horse meat kebab, because this is the most hypoallergenic meat. It is no secret that horse meat has more beneficial properties than harmful ones, which is why its use is widespread throughout the world.

Horse meat is especially often used in the production of sausages - it gives them a special piquancy and density. Producing horse meat is a difficult and expensive business. It is prohibited to keep horses in a stall, as this has a bad effect on the quality and taste of the meat. Therefore, to breed horses, a large amount of land is needed for pasture.

Kazy preparation technology

Kazy is not cooked every day. Make enough of it at once to cook once. Next, the sausage is stored in the refrigerator and the required amount is cut off as needed.

It is noteworthy that minced meat is not made from meat to prepare kazy. The natural casing is stuffed with prepared pieces of meat, previously marinated. To do this, horse meat is cut into small pieces. Add crushed garlic to it and mix well. If the meat is lean, then the fat also needs to be cut into pieces and added to the meat. This whole mass is mixed well again, and then salt, pepper and season with caraway seeds to taste. The meat prepared in this way is transferred to a large cup, covered with gauze and put in the refrigerator.

On a note! It is believed that the meat will be completely ready for cooking kazy in just a couple of hours. But experienced housewives advise marinating it for at least two days, after which you can stuff the casing and cook the sausage.

The prepared half-meter pieces of shell are turned inside out. Each intestinal fragment should have one end tied with a thick thread. Now you can tightly stuff the shells with meat and tie them at the other end. All! The kazy are ready to be cooked.

Kazylyk is placed in a large pan. No matter how many sausages there are, there should be enough water so that it does not have time to boil away while the delicacy is being cooked. For flavor, kazy can be topped with dill sprigs. Then the broth, on which you can then cook soup or prepare sauce, will turn out more tasty.

Important! To prevent the sausages from cracking and falling apart while they are cooking, they need to be pierced in several places with a needle or knitting needle.

After boiling, reduce the heat and cook the kazy until tender for about two hours. From time to time the foam needs to be skimmed off so that the broth is clear. When the kazy are ready, they need to be cooled without removing them from the broth. Sausages cut into thin slices can be served as an appetizer or added to other dishes. Onions pickled in vinegar go well with this appetizer.

Methods for preserving the finished product

A small amount of sausage can be safely stored in the refrigerator if it is expected to be eaten within two weeks. If kazy is made with a reserve, then you should take care of another storage method:

  • You can hang the sausages in a cool place, such as a basement. There shouldn't be any insects there.
  • Kazy is perfectly stored for several months under a layer of flour or bran.
  • Sausage aged three years is considered especially tasty. To preserve the kazy for such a long time, the sausages are hung directly in the chimneys. There they are smoked and in this form they remain there for storage.

Kazylyk has a specific taste and smell, which are appreciated by true connoisseurs of horse meat. This high-calorie product is used as a general tonic. It should be noted that kazy increases blood pressure. In addition, such an appetizer is an excellent decoration for the holiday table. Don't be afraid to surprise your loved ones. Moreover, you now know how to cook kazy correctly.
