Wild boar meat is similar to pork, the main difference is that as a game meat, wild boar meat is leaner and tends to be darker red than ordinary pork. Wild pork has a rich flavor and is a healthier alternative to farmed pork because of its lean nature. You can be sure that the wild boar is truly free ranged with a natural diet of grass, roots, nuts and fruits.
It's a quick and easy dish to make and it always satisfies.

Fry the pork slices quickly in a hot cast iron skillet pan then add them to the sauce.
The cast iron skillet pan helps give the meat a nice even caramelized surface because it holds and distributes heat so well.
