At a glance
You're in for a real treat with this show-stopping wild boar roast that takes about three hours from start to finish. After a quick sauté of vegetables, the meat slow-roasts low and gentle until it's incredibly tender, then you'll blend the vegetables with cream and melt dark chocolate into the sauce for an unexpectedly sophisticated flavor combination. The hands-on time is minimal, but patience with the long roasting is what transforms this into something truly impressive.
1/5
Prepare the onion and celeriac
Fry the onion and celeriac together in a pan on the stovetop with a little oil until nicely golden. Then tip them into the roasting pan you'll be using for the meat. I used a large cast-iron roaster with a lid.

Roast
In the same pan, sear the whole wild boar leg, seasoned all over with salt and pepper. Add the seared leg to the roasting pan with the celeriac and onion, add the rosemary, cover with the lid and roast in an oven preheated to 120°C until the meat is tender.

Roasting time
The roasting time depends on the size of your wild boar leg, but it will certainly take several hours.
