Qarta is a horse meat dish popular in Kazakh and Kyrgyz culture. It consists of boiled and pan-fried horse rectum; specifically the last section of the digestive tract, not including the sphincter. Qarta is usually served as a side dish in a platter of qazy - a horse rib meat sausage - and with minimal seasoning. Other methods of cooking Qarta involve either smoking and drying for 24 and 48 hours respectively, or simmering it with salt, green peppers, and dill.
