👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
In a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the wild boar cubes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Remove meat and set aside.
💡 Profitipps: Browning the meat develops deep flavor. - 2
Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté until softened, about 8-10 minutes.
- 3
Add minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Let it simmer and reduce by half.
- 5
Return the browned wild boar to the pot. Add crushed tomatoes, broth, bay leaves, rosemary, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
💡 Profitipps: Tie herb sprigs together with kitchen twine for easy removal. - 6
Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the wild boar is very tender. Stir occasionally and add more broth if needed.
💡 Profitipps: Low and slow cooking is key for tender wild boar. - 7
About 30 minutes before the ragu is done, prepare the polenta. Bring 1.5 liters of water or a mix of water and milk to a boil in a large saucepan. Gradually whisk in the cornmeal.

Cook the polenta, stirring frequently, until thick and creamy, about 20-25 minutes. Season with salt.

Remove herb sprigs and bay leaves from the ragu. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
💡 Profitipps: Taste and adjust salt and pepper before serving. - 10
Serve the creamy polenta topped with the rich wild boar ragu. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese.
💡 Profitipps
- ✓Wild boar can be tough, so long, slow cooking is essential.
- ✓If wild boar is unavailable, pork shoulder or beef chuck can be substituted, though the flavor will differ.
- ✓For a smoother polenta, stir more vigorously during cooking.
