Wild Boar hindshanks come from the section of the boar’s leg starting just below the knee and ending above the hock. This flavorful meat is lean and high in gelatin, making it best suited to slow, moist cooking methods.

The wildness of true Wild Boar gives it a distinct game flavor that farm-raised Wild Boar simply cannot match. Although similar to domestic pork and farm-raised Wild Boar, wild Wild Boar has a deeper color, leaner texture, tighter grain, and bolder taste.

Keep wild boar shanks in your freezer until you're ready to use them rather than thawing and refreezing unused portions.

Wild boar shanks can be slow roasted or braised, perhaps in a red wine based sauce. Other flavors wild boar pairs well with include apples, brandy, chestnuts, juniper berries, thyme, sage, and rosemary.

Roasted boar shanks will likely need to have their meat removed and shredded prior to serving, as it toughens just enough to make carving by diners difficult.
