Cooking With Wine: Wild Boar Roast
Wild boars are commercially farmed in Nepal and considered to be the royal food. One kilogram of chicken costs $2.5 where as one kilogram of wild boar costs $8.
Though wild boar roast is usually taken with alcohol, it is also considered a great appetizer.

Instructions
- Clean wild boar and make gashes. Mix garlic paste, pepper and cumin seed powder. Apply the paste on the meat thoroughly and season with salt. Pour some wine over the meat and let it marinate for at least six hours in the refrigerator. Turn the meat frequently to make sure every side is soaked in wine.
- Heat a fry pan, add some butter and place the meat gently on the pan. Turn the meat to make sure every side gets cooked thoroughly.

looks very good VG but you can use farmed pigs right?
Hello snakeslane, wild boar are reared in a cage, fed with chicken and vegetables and have to be killed with gunshot. Once I had planned to farm wild boar but could not because of heightened insurgency I could not buy a gun.
@Frank, I do not eat pig but you can replace pig with wild boar. I have been told it could be as tasty as wild boar roast.
Vin,
This recipe really sound delish. I have had wild boar and like the flavor, and the recipe you shared sounds very easy to do for allowing the flavors to develop, I think, is key for any wild game.
I thought this method would work great for leg of lamb as well. What do you think?

Lamb is little harder than wild boar so when I use this method to cook lamb, I use oven instead to fry pan.
That is good to know thank you!
I like a man who can cook, especially with wine. Vinaya, are you married? lol
Seriously, I love wild boar, it is a kind of pork but taste different. That recipe with those spices really will be delicious.
My mother says I will make a good husband. LOL
Cardisa, I have not tasted pork, but wild boar is really good. Thanks for your comment.
I have never tasted wild boar. It is a hog, right? Any way it sounds like it MIGHT be good. I know the wine is yummy..HaHa

I have tatsed wild hog spit roasted, the wine would make it nice and tender.
I'd like to try this with the pork.

Vinaya, I have not tried this. It looks very good. It may be a few days before I am hungry again.
mckbirdbks, yes if you can eat the entire one kg roast, you will not eat again for few days, just like tigers. LOL
Hello Vinaya, here I sit at my computer at 10 at night and I am SO hungry! Then I come across this wonderful hub of yours and I can just smell the food and almost taste it. Wonderful Hub my friend.
Hello Ardie, it's break fast time in Kathmandu.

Thanks for showing the value of boar by comparing its cost with the cost of chicken. Recipe seems simple enough. I seemed to have picked your shorted hub, but I love your topics and I will read more.
MsDora, this is simple indeed.
What a wonderful way to appreciate a writer's work.
Thanks for your compliments.
This sounds great, though wild boar is a bit hard to find at the local grocery. I'll need to try this with pork. Voting this Up and Useful.

Hi Vinaya, if you marinate for six hours must be very tasty and tender, nice photo. I had no idea wild boar is farmed in Nepal, watch out for the ones that get away! Best of everything for you in the new year my friend. Regards, snakeslane
