Mustard and Juniper Roasted Wild Boar | Tender Game Roast

Thoroughly wash the wild boar leg, pat dry, and remove the membrane with a sharp knife. Coarsely crush the juniper berries with salt and black pepper in a mortar, then mix with the mustard and 2 cloves of crushed garlic. Thoroughly rub all sides of the meat with this aromatic mustard-juniper marinade.

Clean the carrots and cut them into thick rounds. Peel the onions and cut them into wedges, and lightly crush the remaining 2 garlic cloves.

Heat the olive oil in a heavy cast-iron pot or pan and sear the marinated wild boar leg on all sides for 2–3 minutes to lock in the juices.
