Wild Boar Stew
Wild boar stew is just the comforting meal you need on cold winter days! Tender and juicy chunks of wild boar meat are slow-cooked on the stove with carrots, celery, and onions inside a rich and flavor-filled tomatoey broth. This wild boar stew is a one-pot meal that everyone will want seconds of!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds wild boar meat cut into 1-inch cubes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 carrots diced
- 2 celery stalks diced
- 1 cup red wine
- 2 cups beef stock
- 1 can 14.5 oz diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 2 bay leaves
- Optional: 1 cup chopped mushrooms or 2 potatoes cubed
Instructions
- Season the wild boar meat generously with salt and pepper.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the wild boar meat and brown on all sides. Do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Remove the meat and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables start to soften.
- Pour in the red wine, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Allow the wine to reduce by half.
- Return the meat to the pot. Add the beef or game stock, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves. If using, also add mushrooms or potatoes.
- Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 2 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender.
- Remove the bay leaves. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
