Lately I've been playing around a lot more with boar. It's very similar to regular pork, but it has a slightly funkier, gamey taste that I like, especially when paired with a heavier side like this sweet potato and corn salad. I like to top it off with some microgreens, but any type of sprouts or greens will work to add some crispness and texture to the dish.

I prefer my sous vide boar cooked at 140°F (60°C) and I usually cook it long enough to pasteurize it but some people prefer it more well done around 145°F (62.8°C) or 150°F (65.6°C).

Note: You can learn more about boar from my guide to sous vide boar or view all my sous vide boar articles.
