From the field to the kitchen
How we handle it
Cook it through
Wild pigs can carry trichinella, so cook boar to an internal temperature of 160°F. Slow cooking and braising get you there without drying it out.
Add moisture and fat
Boar is lean. Brine or marinate the chops, and add some fat when you grind it for burgers or sausage.
Use the whole hog
Hams and shoulders are made for long, slow curries. The bones make a deep stock for daal or soup.
