Ingredients

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes to create a marinade.
2. Add the horse meat to the marinade, ensuring it's well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for more flavor).
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
4. Remove the meat from the marinade and let it come to room temperature for about 10 minutes.

6. While the meat is grilling, toss the cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, and zucchini in the remaining marinade and grill them for about 5-7 minutes until tender.
7. Once the meat is done, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
8. Serve the grilled horse meat alongside the grilled vegetables.
