Ultimate Wild Boar Burgers
 
Ingredients
  • 2¼ pounds ground wild boar meat
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, or olive oil
  • Kosher salt, cracked black pepper, and granulated garlic, to taste
  • 6 hamburger buns
  • 6 slices Cheddar cheese
  • Toppings: leafy green lettuce, sliced tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, pickles, cooked bacon slices, ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise
Instructions
  1. Preheat grill to high heat (400° to 450°).
  2. Divide meat into 6 equal portions. Lightly wet your hands with cold water, and form each portion into a 4-inch patty of even thickness.
  3. Oil grill grate.
  4. Lightly brush one side of each patty with melted butter. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic. Arrange patties, butter side down, on hot grate. Grill until nicely browned, about 4 minutes. Lightly brush top of patties with melted butter, and season with salt, pepper, and garlic. Turn with a spatula, and grill for 4 minutes for medium, or to desired degree of doneness.* Remove from heat.
  5. Brush cut sides of buns with remaining melted butter. Grill buns, cut side down, for 2 minutes. Place burgers on buns, and top as desired.
Notes
If wild boar meat is inaccessible or not to your liking, this recipe will still be delicious when substituting with a 50/50 blend of ground pork and ground beef (or just ground pork).
