Preparation

  • Begin by finely mincing the wild boar and pork. Soak the stale bread in milk until soft, then squeeze out any excess liquid and add it to the meat in a large bowl. Mix in the chopped parsley, grated Parmesan, and salt, combining until you achieve a uniform mixture. Let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for around 15’.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the green sauce: wash the parsley, removing the lower half of the stems. Place the parsley in a blender along with the anchovies, vinegar, rinsed capers, and extra virgin olive oil. Blend until you have a smooth, creamy consistency, then chill the sauce in the refrigerator for about 10’ to set.
  • For the mustard mayonnaise, add all ingredients to a tall container suitable for an immersion blender. Start blending from the bottom at a medium speed, slowly moving upward to incorporate the oil evenly and create a thick, creamy mayonnaise.
  • Retrieve the meat mixture from the refrigerator and shape it into small meatballs, about 30 g each, either round or slightly oval according to preference. Coat each meatball first in flour, then in beaten egg, and finally in breadcrumbs, ensuring an even covering. For an extra-crispy coating, repeat the egg and breadcrumb step for a second layer.
  • Heat the sunflower oil in a frying pot to 180 °C (356 °F) and fry the meatballs for about 5’, until golden and crispy on the outside. Once cooked, place them on paper towels to absorb any excess oil and season with a pinch of salt.
  • To serve, spread the green sauce across the base of the plate, arrange three meatballs per portion on top, and add a dollop of mustard mayo over each meatball using a squeeze bottle for a precise and decorative finish. Serve immediately to enjoy their full flavor and crunch.
