Wild Boar In Groundnut Sauce Or Pork Recipes

WILD BOAR IN GROUNDNUT SAUCE (OR PORK)

Steps:

• Heat a few spoonfulls of oil in a large pot. Add the meat and fry it until it is browned but not done. Reduce heat. Add water, salt, and pepper and simmer for about half an hour.
• Add the tomatoes and onions and contine to simmer until the meat is done and becoming tender.
• Remove some of the liquid and mix it with the peanut butter to make a smooth sauce. Add this to the meat-tomato-onion mixture.
• Continue to simmer on a very low heat until the meat is very tender (30 mins to 60 mins depending on cut).

ELEGANT WILD BOAR BURGERS FOR TWO

Steps:

• In a non-stick or well-seasoned cast iron pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-low heat.
• Saute the chopped shallot for 2 minutes or until softened but not brown.
• Set aside.
• In a bowl, place the ground boar.
• Sprinkle the thyme and sage over top.
• Add the worcestershire sauce and pepper.
• Add the shallot and oil and mix with hands until well combined.
• (If you are making the burgers ahead of time, let the shallot cool completely before adding it to the burger mixture).
• Form into two patties about 1/3" thick.
• Broil or grill until well done, about 5-6 minutes per side.
• Divide cheese and place on burgers about 1 minute before they are done.
• Let burgers sit about five minutes before serving.
• Nice served with a spinach and mushroom salad with a white wine vinagrette.
• (A note about cambozola: It is a blue-veined brie and has a very mild blue flavour. You could probably substitute a mild blue cheese which will emphasize the sage, or a brie which will add richness. Experiment!).
