Honey Butter Pecan Boar Chops

Our organically-fed boar loin chops are similar to our pork chop, but they have a richer, nuttier flavor that is quite delicious! Give these decadent honey butter pecan chops a try this week! Make it a Mint Creek meal and use our honey as well!

Ingredients:

• 2 boar chops

• 2 Clove of Garlic

• 1-2 Tbs Pecans

• 1 Tbs Butter

• 1 Tsp Dill

• ½ – 1 ½ cup of Honey

• Dash of soy sauce for taste

• 3-5 Rainbow carrots

• ½ lb of green beans

Directions:

On a stovetop, preheat the cast iron pan to medium heat or just under medium. (With the honey butter pecan glaze, this will get dark and caramelize or even blacken.)

First dice up the two fresh cloves of garlic, add the pecans and mince together. Add the diced garlic, pecans and butter to the honey and whip until consistent. Place the boar chop into the cast iron pan and dress the top with the honey pecan butter glaze.

After about 5-7 minutes it will be time to flip. After flipping over add a cup of water to braise and coat the top with the same glaze. Please note the glaze will give the meat a dark texture, it may even appear burnt. Cook on that side until the meat is no longer pink, or at least 145 degrees in the center.

Place meat on plate and take remaining glaze to coat one last time. Serve with rainbow carrots and green beans.
