weighed in g; not spoon- or piece-counted
Instead of Wild boar shoulder
Pork shoulderUse the same weight; it is fattier, so trim less and cook for a similar time until tender.
Pork with fatUse the same weight; wild boar is leaner, so keep the fat and add a little oil if the pan looks dry.
Lamb shoulderUse the same weight; it has a stronger flavour and needs 20–30 minutes longer slow cooking.
Vegetarian swaps
Raw jackfruitUse the same weight in chunks; pressure cook until tender, then braise 20–30 minutes to take on the spices.
MushroomUse the same weight of thick-cut mushrooms; sauté first, then simmer 15–20 minutes less than boar.
ChickpeaUse the same weight of cooked chickpeas; add for the last 15 minutes so they absorb the sauce without breaking.
