Description
Wild boar braised in red wine with Tuscan olives, capers, rosemary, sage and tomato — the canonical wild game preparation of the Tuscan Maremma and Chianti hills. The boar is marinated 24–48 hours in Chianti to tenderise and moderate the gaminess, then braised low and slow until the meat falls apart. The olive and caper savoury notes cut through the richness of the wild boar fat.

—Marinated wild boar braised in red wine with aromatics — same Iberian-Mediterranean approach to gamy wild pork Catalan
—Wild boar paprika stew — same red wine marinade required for the wild game; different spice register Hungarian

Flavour Context
Bold, gamey, savourily rich; the wine tannins balance the boar fat; olives and capers add brininess and acidity; the Maillard crust on the meat gives roasted depth throughout
