Fake Boar An Ancient Roman Recipe

Sometimes you want to impress your neighbors in the villa next door, but you just cannot get hold of wild boar. By marinating pork chops according to this ancient recipe you might be able to create a fake boar dish. Ive added the red wine to the original recipe, as I find it is absolutely necessary to create the game effect. Good quality meat, not too lean, is essential to make this work. You need: 2 lbs pork chops, cup olive oil, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 cup red wine, 2 shallots, chopped, 2 bay leafs, 1 tsp each of peppercorns, rosemary, coriander seeds, thyme and lovage for the marinade, 2 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp breadcrumbs, ground pepper salt to taste Stay tuned there are much more historical recipes to come on this culinary archaeology channel.
