Wild boar chops
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 12 wild boar chops
- 1 ½ Tbsp butter or olive oil
Sauce
- 4 Tbsp mixed chopped lemon zest and orange zest
- ½ finely chopped shallots
- 100 ml red wine vinegar
- 100 ml red wine
- 6 Tbsp honey
- 100 ml cream
- 2 Tbsp Dijon-style mustard
- 4 Tbsp butter
Marinade
- 1 tspn salt
- 1 tspn white pepper
- 1 tspn dry mustard
- 1 tspn dried thyme
- 1 tspn dried oregano
- 1 tspn freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/2 tspn ground cloves
- 1/2 tspn ground allspice
- 1/2 tspn cayenne pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- olive oil just enough to cover the chops
Instructions
- Combine all the spices and dried herbs and crush thoroughly in a mortar with a pestle. Rub on meat a bit of olive oil and apply a light coat of the spice mix, both sides. Leave them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking.
- Switch on the grill on high and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning mid-ways.
- While your chops are cooking prepare the sauce. Place citrus zest, shallots, vinegar, wine, and honey in a small saucepan and reduce over medium-high heat until 1 tablespoon remains. Add cream and mustard and reduce by half. If desired, swirl in butter. Strain sauce, pour over chops. And serve immediately.
