After slow cooking a wild boar shoulder this weekend I was left with an abundance or delicious, tender and flavorful shredded meat. I was vacuuming sealing the leftovers when a direct message popped up on my phone. As I read the message it got me thinking, thinking because of what was asked.
“How can I use my left over wild boar? I am sick of the typical sandwiches and tacos, is there any other way to cook leftover meat?”
Of course there is, there are a million different recipes that one can cook with left over meats, wild or not. The problem is we tend to put ourselves in a box when it comes to cooking. I got thinking of all the “non” traditional ways one could use left over Wild Boar and this is the first one that popped into my head.
We have a BBQ restaurant down here in Southern California called Hambones and one of their signature dishes is Mac n cheese, pulled pork, black-eyed peas and tri tip.
I thought, why cant i create a wild game version of this amazing dish. So I made some Homemade Cheese sauce and baked this dish for dinner, every plate was licked clean.
When it comes to leftovers we tend to get scared of the unknown and fall back into our 2-3 recipes that we feel comfortable with. I’m here to challenge you to think outside the box and be daring.
Remember, if you cook it… They will eat!
