Sticking with the Middle Eastern influence I decided to turn the wild boar steaks into koftas. I thought I’d serve them with some Couscous and some natural yogurt flavoured with fresh corriander and chives.

PREPARATION
- Add the boar, herbs and spices to a food processor and pulse until minced and well mixed.

That looks amazing! I’ve had wild boar bacon, but not acutal meat. I would definatly try that.
Wild boar… a little tough at times. Mincing it should definitely make it more tender. I love the taste of this rustic meat.
I had never eaten it before, quite a ‘gamey’ strong flavoured meat, because it is so lean it has the potential to dry out when cooking so it is really crucial to keep an eye on it when grilling to make sure that this doesn’t happen.
I quite liked it but Stewart wasn’t so keen.
Well, that’s a different way of using wild boar! It looks super fine!
Since I love game’s strong flavour, I guess that it would be to my taste!
It looks delicious! You did a great job coming up with a recipe for the wild boar!

You have a nice way of presenting the food you cook. Hope I’ll have that kind of culinary motivation even once in this lifetime.
Thanks all, I really appreciate your feedback!
Hi Pamela, I love koftas but never had one with wild boar – sounds great!
Those look amazing!
