INSTRUCTIONS
Have the skin removed from the boar in one piece, trim off most of the fat
and wipe the meat all over.
Grind the juniper berries, coriander and rosemary with the salt and mix
with the rest of the ingredients. Rub the paste over the meat, cover with
the skin and leave for an hour or two, or overnight if more convenient.
Preheat the oven to 150C/300F/gas 3. Peel and trim the celeriac into
cork-sized pieces and arrange in a greased roasting dish. Place the haunch
on top, cover with the skin and put into the oven.
Cook for 25-30 minutes per pound, plus at the end of cooking, an extra 20
minutes at 200C/400F/gas 6. Allow the meat to stand for 20 minutes before
carving into thin slices.
Serve with extra root vegetables roasted in the oven, or steamed vegetables
such as celery, leeks and fennel. Make a gravy with the boiled down meat
juices and serve with a little home-made sharp fruit jelly.
