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.

Notes

  • Wild boar meat is leaner than pork, so long, slow cooking helps tenderize it.
  • The stew can also be made in a slow cooker. After browning the meat and sautéing the vegetables, transfer everything to a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
  • Leftover stew tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together.
