Wild Boar Chops

Mushroom Demi-Glace

Grilled Asparagus

Roasted Carrots

Herb Spätzle

Method

Wild Boar Chops

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chops

    Season the wild boar chops with salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and fresh rosemary. Rub the seasoning into the meat and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chops

    Heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chops and sear each side for about 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest.

Mushroom Demi-Glace

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped shallots and sliced mushrooms, sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Deglaze the Pan

    Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Allow to simmer until reduced by half.

  3. 5

    Add Stock and Thicken

    Add beef stock and fresh thyme. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the sauce thickens. Strain if desired and keep warm.

Grilled Asparagus

  1. 6

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Trim the ends of the asparagus. In a bowl, toss with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 7

    Grill the Asparagus

    Preheat the grill to medium heat. Grill asparagus for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and slightly charred.

Roasted Carrots

  1. 8

    Prepare the Carrots

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and cut the carrots into even pieces. In a bowl, mix with olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 9

    Roast the Carrots

    Spread the carrots on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and caramelized.

Herb Spätzle

  1. 10

    Prepare the Spätzle Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, eggs, milk, salt, and nutmeg. Mix until smooth. Stir in chopped parsley.

  2. 11

    Cook the Spätzle

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Use a spätzle maker or a colander to drop the batter into the boiling water. Cook until they float to the top, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm.
