This is a recipe which is suitable for a festive occasion. Wild boar with sage and honey. Wild boar isn’t something we can get everyday in Greece. We can, however, get it during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, so I plan to make it during the holidays. Read more In Greece wild boars are bred on farms. See less

How to make it
- Wash the meat and strain the water. Pound the garlic and rub the meat with the mustard and the honey, sprinkle with salt, pepper and chilly and place in a bowl. Add orange juice, oil and vinegar, as well as the bay leaves, pound sage, rosemary, thyme and oregano (keep a little from four last ingredients for later on) and marinate for 2 – 3 hours in the refrigerator.
- Preheat oven at 200 degrees C.
- Peel, wash and cut potatoes, if needed and pierce all the small ones with a sharp knife so that the steam will penetrate through and the bigger ones cut them in two or four pieces. Place in a bowl and sprinkle with salt, pepper and the four ingredients we kept, thyme, rosemary, sage and oregano.
- Place a big piece of parchment paper in your tin and put the meat on the paper. Place the potatoes around the meat and cut the onions and peeled tomatoes into small slices. Add the marinade and cover with the parchment paper. Cut two big pieces of aluminum foil and cover the tin air tight. Place tin near the center of oven and reduce temperature to 180 degrees and roast for two hours. Remove foil and top of parchment paper and bake until potatoes are ready.
