Belly

Belly of Wild Boar layers fat and meat for roast, cure, and braise. Wild boar is leaner than pork—watch dryness. Cook wild boar belly to temperature when thickness varies, rest before carving, and add fat or sauce if lean. Stews, roasts, sausage, and ragù show the cut’s strengths. Match heat to collagen—fast sear for tender muscle, long moist heat for hard-working joints.
