For the braten itself, you’ll need: - 1 wild boar roast, approximately 3 pounds - 2 cups red wine - 2 cups beef broth - 1 onion, diced - 2 cloves garlic, minced - 2 tablespoons caraway seeds - Salt and pepper, to taste For the rotkraut (red cabbage), you’ll need: - 1 head red cabbage, shredded - 1 apple, grated - 1 onion, diced - 2 tablespoons sugar - 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar - 1 tablespoon butter - Salt and pepper, to taste Now, let’s get cooking! Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large Dutch oven or other oven-safe pot, heat up some oil over high heat. Add the wild boar roast and sear on all sides until browned. Remove the roast from the pot and set aside. Add the onion and garlic to the pot and sauté until softened. Add the red wine, beef broth, and caraway seeds, then return the wild boar roast to the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the pot with a lid and transfer to the oven. Bake for approximately 2-3 hours, or until the braten is cooked through and tender.
