👨🍳 Fremgangsmåde
- 1
Marinate the wild boar: In a large bowl, combine the wild boar cubes with the red wine, chopped onions, carrots, celery, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, and juniper berries. Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, or preferably 24 hours.

Drain the boar, reserving the marinade. Pat the boar cubes dry with paper towels. Strain the marinade, reserving the vegetables and liquid separately.
💡 Professionelle Tips: Drying the meat ensures a better sear. - 3
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the wild boar cubes in batches until well-seared on all sides. Remove the boar and set aside.

Add the diced pancetta to the pot and cook until crispy. Remove the pancetta and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.
- 5
Add the reserved marinated vegetables to the pot and sauté until softened, about 8-10 minutes.
- 6
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute until slightly darkened. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring, for another minute.

Return the seared wild boar to the pot. Pour in the reserved marinade liquid and the beef/game stock. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
💡 Professionelle Tips: Ensure all browned bits are incorporated for maximum flavor. - 8
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer gently for at least 3 hours, or until the wild boar is very tender. Stir occasionally.
💡 Professionelle Tips: The longer it simmers, the more tender and flavorful the stew will be. - 9
Season the civet with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir in the reserved crispy pancetta just before serving.
💡 Professionelle Tips: Taste and adjust seasoning carefully at the end. - 10
Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley. Traditionally served with mashed potatoes, polenta, or crusty bread.
💡 Professionelle Tips: A dollop of crème fraîche or sour cream can be a nice addition.
