Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

This slow-braised wild boar dish requires planning ahead—you'll marinate the meat overnight before searing and braising it low and slow for about two hours until it's fall-apart tender. The payoff is a rich, silky sauce that you'll blend smooth, paired with creamy mashed potatoes for an elegant autumn dinner that's worth the wait.

About this recipe

Autumn is probably the most popular season for cooking game. Outside it's (usually) miserable weather, which makes it all the more tempting to let something simmer away slowly on the stove at home. This wild boar leg recipe came about partly through improvisation and partly thanks to some careful study of a French cookbook the day before.
