Wild Boar Meat

Wild boar meat is game with a bold, intense flavour and a dark red colour, coming from free-ranging animals living in the wild. Because of the animal's active lifestyle, the meat is firmer and leaner than farmed pork while being rich in protein and iron. It is used to prepare goulash, ragout, roasts and stuffed rolls. Marinating in red wine with juniper berries, bay leaves and spices before cooking is recommended to mellow the strong flavour. It pairs well with forest fruit sauces and classic accompaniments such as bread dumplings or braised red cabbage. A favourite ingredient in autumn and winter cooking.
