Baked wild boar leg

Description

The recipe won't take much time. Of course, you don't often come across one or two wild boar legs. But it does happen! And in such moments, the main thing is to be prepared when someone asks what to make from the delicacy you have. I recommend memorizing it (or better yet, writing it down somewhere, or simply saving the recipe to your favorites). Serve hot.

Instructions

1. 1

   Step 1

   Rub the meat with salt and pepper, and transfer it to a container in which it will marinate.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Crush all the remaining spices in a mortar, not too finely. Mix the spices with red wine and pour the resulting mixture over the meat. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate to marinate overnight.

3. 3

   Step 3

   The next day, preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Grease a baking dish with 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil and place it in the oven to warm up slightly.

4. 4

   Step 4

   Prepare the vegetables. Wash and cut them into large pieces. Tip: it's better to sauté all the vegetables and garlic in a small amount of oil before baking.

5. 5

   Step 5

   At the same time, remove the meat from the marinade and dry it. Rub the leg again with a mixture of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Transfer the leg to a preheated baking sheet and place in the oven for about 30 minutes.

6. 6

   Step 6

   Make sure the top browns slightly. Then reduce the oven temperature to 170 degrees. Add the prepared vegetables and marinade to the leg. Return everything to the oven.

   Step 7

   After the marinade has slightly evaporated, cover everything with the baking dish lid or foil, return to the oven, and bake for another 1-1.5 hours.
