CINGHIALE ALL'AGRODOLCE

Wild Boar in Sweet and Sour Sauce

How to make the Wild Boar in Sweet and Sour Sauce:

Prepare a marinade by boiling the vinegar and wine with the bay leaf, thyme, peperoncino, cloves, 1 onion, carrot and celery. Pour into a large pot and let cool. Place the boar fillet into the marinade and let sit for 48 hours.

Chop the remaining onion and brown in butter. Add the cocoa, sugar, prunes, candied orange peel, raisins and pine nuts. Stir for a few minutes, then add the boar meat and cook slowly for an hour. Add the filtered marinade, and salt. Continue cooking until the meat is very tender and the sauce thick. Serve the cinghiale all'agrodolce with polenta, potatoes or potato gnocchi.
