Slow Cooked Pulled Wild Boar

(Replicated from the BBC good food pulled pork recipe.)

Ingredients

• 2kg Wild Boar shoulder, skin removed

• 1 onion, sliced

• 2 tsp smoked paprika

• ½ tsp cinnamon

• 1 tbsp flour

• 2 tsp oil

Method:

1. Put the onion slices at the bottom of the slow cooker. In a small bowl mix together 1 tbsp salt with 1 tsp ground black pepper, the smoked paprika and cinnamon. Put the flour onto a plate then rub the spice mixture over the wild boar.

2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and roll the spiced boar in the flour before putting it into the pan to sear it fat side down for 30 seconds on each side. Then place it on top of the onion slices in the slow cooker.

3. In a large jug combine all the ingredients for slow cooking the boar then pour over the meat. Put the lid on, then cook on the low setting for 8 hours.

4. When you’re ready to serve, take the meat out of the slow cooker leaving the cooking liquor behind. Pull the meat into bite-size chunks and shred with 2 forks. Ladle a little of the cooking juices over the boar and mix together.

5. Finally toss the fennel and apple slices in the lemon juice and season well then serve along with the wild boar.
