SUPER TASTY!

With its rich and nutty flavor, wild boar offers something unique. The meat is a bit darker, possibly due to the healthy iron content. Wild boar is also leaner and richer tasting meat compared to pork.

Ingredients

  • Wild boar fillet
  • 600g red kale
  • 10ml olive oil
  • 10ml dark beer
  • 1-2 cloves garlic
  • 4 apples (peeled)
  • 1 tbsp. cumin
  • 50g butter
  • Salt and pepper
  • Favorite seasonings for the meat: salt, pepper, juniper berries, bay, rosemary

Method

Clean and trim the wild boar fillet. Mix olive oil, dark beer, garlic, and favorite seasoning in a bowl. Add fillet to the bowl and rub the marinade into the meat. Set in the fridge for at least 30 min I usually do this in the morning and let the meat rest in marinade through the day.

Preheat oven to 200 °C. Thinly slice red kale and set aside. Peel apples cut into cubes and set aside. Heat a frying pan with butter on high temperature. Fry wild boar fillet 2-3 min on each side until golden brown.

Transfer the meat to a baking try and set into the oven. Cook for 12 min and let it rest covered with foil and kitchen towel for 10 min.  The cooking can vary depending on size of the fillet. The temperature in the center should be 53 °C for the best result.

While the meat is resting, use the same frying pan for the red kale. Fry the kale on low heat in 1 tbsp. olive oil or butter. Add cumin, salt and pepper. Fry until the kale starts to get soft after about 8 min. At the same time cook the apples in a pot with water until they are tender and blend apples into a puree.

Now, thinly slice the wild boar fillet and serve with warm red kale salad and apple puree.

Happy cooking & Bon appétit.

”It was my fascination for hunting dogs that got me into hunting. I started out participating as a beater and after few times I was obsessed about getting to know more about nature, wildlife and the hunting community. Three years back I passed my hunting license test and since then hunting has turned into a lifestyle. In January 2020 I finish my University degree with a specialization in hunting tourism and marketing. I’m very passionate and dedicated to explain my view on hunting, and to tell the whole story. As a hunter you won’t always bring home meat for your freezer, but I guarantee you that you’ll always bring home one more unique experience from the great outdoors.”
