I just bought some boar, rabbit, and elk. Any cooking suggestions?

    What cuts do you have?

    boar medallions, nearly whole rabbit, and ground elk. Sorry I guess that helps.

    I've always cooked rabbit pretty much the same way I cook chicken...in a curry, a stew, with a cream sauce (not Paleo though). I've never had elk or boar, but I'm sure the possibilities are endless, yum!

    Elk and boar can be a bit lean and therefore cook much faster than beef. I'd marinate the meat in oil and herbs and then grill it. Or mix the ground meat with a fatter cut (pork or beef) and make a meatloaf.

    rabbit stew

    chopped
    onions
    carrots
    bacon
    butter/oil
    sage/thyme
    and a few juniper berries
    place in a slow cooker
    add enough stock to cover, season well and slow cook for 2-3 hours till tender :)

    With the boar just grill it, boar meat is delish and I don't like adding to much to it, just serve with your favourite sides

    And the elk I've never cooked with but when I lived in Scandinavia a lot of people said the thing about adding fat to stop it from drying out.

    :)

    These are some great ideas! Thank you! If any of you live near Cincinnati Ohio, I got all of the meat at Jungle Jim's.

    I live in northern Ohio and have not been to Jungle Jim's, but have seen a brochure from the place. Yikes! I could spend hours in there.
