Ingredients

• 4 pieces wild boar chops
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
• 4 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon honey

Directions

Step 1

Pat the wild boar chops dry with a paper towel and set aside.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, chopped fresh rosemary, chopped fresh thyme, minced garlic cloves, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, paprika, and honey. Stir well to form a marinade.

Step 3

Place the wild boar chops in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chops are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let the chops marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.

Step 4

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the wild boar chops from the marinade and allow any excess liquid to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 6

Place the chops on the preheated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer a higher degree of doneness.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked boar chops to a plate and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Allow them to rest for 5 minutes to redistribute the juices.

Step 8

Serve hot with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
