Ingredients

How to make it

  • Heat the oil in large casserole over low heat.
  • Add the onion,carrot,celery,garlic,and parsley,saute until the vegetables are softened,but have not begun to brown,about 10 mintues.
  • Chop the meat into bite-size cubes...makes the bore easier to swallow.
  • Add the meat and brown on all sides.
  • Season with sea salt and pepper.
  • Pour in the wine and cook until it evaporates...Pour your wine before you exasperate.
  • Add the vinegar and cook until it evaporates.
  • Add your stock,cover,simmer over low heat until the meat is tender,about 1 hour will do.
  • Add more stock if the mixture begins to stick to the pan...you've heard of a stick in the mud have'nt you...same thing.
  • Melt the chocolate.
  • Add the Grappa....At the same time pour a small amount in your brandy glass,swirl around in the snifter,smell,place in mouth,allow the taste to initially touch the end of the tongue,then the heat hitting the back of the throat,wait for the warm glow....Being Bored and cooking Boar,is'nt so bad after all.
  • With the melted chocolate and Grappa,add the walnuts,sultanas,pine nuts,candied lemon,and sugar.
  • Mix well and remove from the heat.
  • Dilute the chocolate mixture with a few tablespoons of the cooking liquid,then all to the casserole.
  • Mixing well.
  • Simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • ~ Serve Hot on a bed of hot,fresh made polenta ~
  • ~To me...this is the only way a person should be bored...is by cooking a good Boar...until it is tender...giving yourself a different culinary experience~
  • Note: It has been said that this was served at the wealthy Medici Court in Renaissance Florence in the 16th Century...a bit different,and a lot of fun.
