I find game meat to be slightly offputting, so I vote for strong seasoning to drown it out. I'd probably do tacos. (This is also why I prefer my game meat ground - easier to doctor.)

Boar is strong so I agree with the pps who suggest a ragu or other flavorful pairing. Otherwise it tastes like reheated barnyard.

Essentially a strong pork taste, marinating overnight with garlic, rosemary is key.

FYI, pronounced Chin-gwa-lay

Many recipes online, just marinate the meat overnight and make the ragu the next day. Fresh or dried pappardelle or tagliatelle is fine.

don't they have gamey taste?

Cinghiale!!!!!

Essentially a ragu over pappardelle. Beyond delicious.

They sell it at Giant.

I have a friend who grew up really rural. His dad would butcher people's meat for them. He had a garage sized building with butcher saws, tables, refrigerators, etc. Hunters would come with their deer or whatever., and pay him to cut it up I asked him what wild pigs taste like. He said they taste "game-ey". Not near as tasty as pork you can buy at the grocery store.

Find a good wild boar sausage recipe

I’ve never had boar. Is it super flavorful? I’m jealous!

I don't have a specific recipe, but some of my favorite restaurant meals have been wild boar ragu dishes. If you want to limit white flour pasta, you could sub roasted cauliflower and/or a different pasta with more fiber. It's more of a winter dish than spring, though.

Any healthy and tasty ideas for what to do with a pound of frozen ground boar?
