Fat of Wild Boar bastes roasts, confits, and mince. Render slowly. Game fat can be stronger—use judiciously. Cook wild boar fat 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.
