Wild Boar Meatballs Or Any Domestic Pork Beef Turkey And Veal Recipes

WILD BOAR MEATBALLS OR ANY DOMESTIC PORK, BEEF, TURKEY, AND VEAL

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the oil, tomato sauce, and pasta. Mix well with a wooden spoon or spatula until uniform in consistency.
• Heat the grape seed oil in a large heavy bottom sauté pan.
• Roll the wild boar mixture with your hands into 2-inch balls. Place them in the hot oil and cook for 2-3minutes on all sides until well browned.
• Add the sauce and simmer covered for 10 minutes.
• Spoon the meatballs and sauce over your favorite pasta or rice.

WILD GAME MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Pre heat oven to 350.
• I mention using a food processor but you can just chop everything by hand, just make sure it's chopped very fine.
• In a food processor add your white onion and garlic and pulse a few times. Then break up your cooked bacon and pulse again. Add your ground meat pulse, add egg, pulse until combined well. If meat is warm or room temperature then place in the fridge for a few minutes. Using your hands make 5 large meatballs the size of baseballs or you can make 10 small golf ball sized meatballs. In a large skillet warm some oil and brown each side of the meatballs, place in a baking dish and bake for about 15 minutes in the oven. You may need to bake less or more depending on the size you choose to make.

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!).
