Jowl

Jowl of Wild Boar is cheek fat and meat for slow cook, cure, or mince. Collagenous and rich. Cook wild boar jowl 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.
