Wild Boar Leg

Wild boar leg is a large, meaty cut from the hindquarter of the animal. The meat is deeply aromatic, dark red in colour, with a firm texture and an intense gamey flavour. It is most commonly prepared by slow-roasting in the oven with root vegetables, red wine and spices to keep it moist and tender. An overnight marinade is highly recommended before cooking. It also works well in goulash or ragout. It is traditionally served with bread dumplings, rosehip or blueberry sauce and braised red cabbage. An excellent source of protein with less fat than farmed pork leg, a perfect choice for a festive game dinner.
