Elegant Wild Boar Burgers for Two image

I created this recipe after buying a small amount of wild ground boar to try. I didn't find that the boar was gamey, but maybe just tasted more earthy than, say, beef. If you can find boar, why not give it a try? The cambozola adds richness while complementing the earthy tones of the sage and thyme. The shallot adds a bit of sweetness. A really different burger!

Time 26m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 lb ground wild boar
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil (or more if necessary)
1 pinch dried thyme
1 pinch dried sage
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
ground black pepper, to taste
2 ounces cambozola cheese, sliced,rind removed if desired (see note below)

Steps:

  • In a non-stick or well-seasoned cast iron pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-low heat.
  • Saute the chopped shallot for 2 minutes or until softened but not brown.
  • Set aside.
  • In a bowl, place the ground boar.
  • Sprinkle the thyme and sage over top.
  • Add the worcestershire sauce and pepper.
  • Add the shallot and oil and mix with hands until well combined.
  • (If you are making the burgers ahead of time, let the shallot cool completely before adding it to the burger mixture).
  • Form into two patties about 1/3" thick.
  • Broil or grill until well done, about 5-6 minutes per side.
  • Divide cheese and place on burgers about 1 minute before they are done.
  • Let burgers sit about five minutes before serving.
  • Nice served with a spinach and mushroom salad with a white wine vinagrette.
  • (A note about cambozola: It is a blue-veined brie and has a very mild blue flavour. You could probably substitute a mild blue cheese which will emphasize the sage, or a brie which will add richness. Experiment!).

The burgers were a bit dry. I think I should have cooked them for less time.

Great recipe! The burgers were delicious and easy to make. I used ground pork instead of wild boar, and they still turned out great.
