💰Cheaper: black peppercorns

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is a more economical choice for cooking.

Marinate the wild boar with sage, various herbs, onion, and a little vinegar for 2-3 hours, or preferably 12-15 hours to remove the strong smell.

Prepare a pot with chopped celery, carrots, and onion.

Add bay leaves and black pepper to the pot.

Heat olive oil in the pot and add the wild boar, cooking for at least 10 minutes.

Add a drop of honey to flavor the meat and a little tomato concentrate for color.

Transfer the pot to an oven preheated to 200 degrees Celsius.

Cook in the oven for 1.5 hours, covered, ensuring it cooks evenly from above and below.

After 1.5 hours, turn off the oven and leave the pot inside for an additional hour to allow the meat to cool down slowly with the sauce, enhancing the flavor.
