Wild Boar Cutlets

Lean patties for the adventurous meat lover — give them a try! Wild boar differs from pork in that it's leaner and tougher. Like most game, it needs to be soaked before cooking. It's best to avoid meat from a male boar taken during the rut altogether — it has an awful smell. Any other boar meat can be soaked in a 2% vinegar solution for three hours.

Also, unlike pork, boar isn't suited to every dish. It's great for kebabs, roasts, cutlets, and ham. I don't know how to make ham, but cutlets are a snap.

  • How do you make wild boar cutlets?
  • Once the meat has soaked, trim away the bones and sinew and run it through a meat grinder. Then grind it again along with the onion and garlic. Season the ground meat with salt and pepper and mix. If you like, work in a little pork fat, since boar is lean. Mix in the breadcrumbs and stir again. You can swap the breadcrumbs for a finely grated potato. Shape the cutlets by hand and fry them in hot oil until cooked through, browning both sides just like regular cutlets. Serve the boar cutlets with any vegetable side or with pasta.
  • One thing to keep in mind: the wrong pan can ruin even the best recipe, so choose one suited to the dish.
  • Every cooking oil is good only up to a certain point — its smoke point, beyond which it starts to burn and form harmful compounds. Choose an oil with a high smoke point for frying at higher heat.
  • If you use a premade spice blend, always check the label. Many blends already contain salt, so keep that in mind or you risk over-salting the dish.
