Some like to make this stew with apples, some prefer pears or black olives… in our house we liked to make it with chianti classico wine.

Wild boar stew

In a large stock pot, over medium to high heat, cook meat until it releases liquid. Do this in order to temper the "wild" flavour. Prepare an abundant amount of diced garlic, bay leaves, chili peppers, rosemary and juniper. Add to stock pot and sautee in a generous amount of olive oil together with meat. Brown well and add a good glass of chianti classico wine. Reduce and add a little home made tomato sauce. Salt and continue to cook for two hours more until meat is tender and tasty.
