Preparation

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook time: 20 minutes
  • Serves: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 200g wild boar haunch steaks
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 shallots, finely sliced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, finely sliced
  • 20g butter
  • 250g chestnut mushroom, sliced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
  • 1 tbsp brandy
  • 150ml chicken stock
  • 150g soured cream
  • 1 handful of cornichons
  • 1 tbsp parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper for seasoning
  • Rice to serve

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion until soft, then add the garlic and fry for another minute before adding the butter.
  2. Once the butter has melted, stir in the mushrooms and fry until softened. Mix in the paprika and mustard, coating everything well, and season to taste. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Slice the wild boar haunch steaks into 2cm strips and season with salt. In the same pan used earlier, heat another tablespoon of oil on high heat and brown the steak strips on all sides.
  4. Pour in the brandy, carefully ignite it with a match or lighter. Once the flame goes out and the alcohol has reduced, return the mushroom mixture to the pan.
  5. Turn the heat down to medium, add the stock and simmer slowly until reduced by half. Stir in the sour cream and cornichons, season to taste, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Serve the stroganoff over boiled basmati rice, garnished with chopped parsley and plenty of black pepper.
