Wild Boar Crown Roast with Apple Stuffing

Crown Preparation: Begin by frenching the rib bones for an elegant presentation. Season the roast generously and refrigerate it for 4 to 8 hours - this gives the salt time to penetrate deep into the meat.

Stuffing Assembly: While the roast at 400°F rests, sauté your vegetables until they're soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. Fold them together with cubed bread and your seasonings to create a rustic stuffing.

Roasting Setup: Start the crown in a hot 425°F oven for 15 minutes to develop a beautiful crust, then reduce to 350°F for the remainder.

Temperature Target: Use a meat thermometer and pull the roast when it hits 165°F internally - this is essential for wild boar food safety.

Stuffing Addition: Fill the crown's center with your prepared stuffing during the last 45 minutes of cooking. The stuffing will absorb all those wonderful pan juices.

Resting: Let the roast rest for a full 20 minutes before carving between the bones. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
