Wild boar leg with honey and mustard: a delicious and authentic recipe

Ingredients
Serves 6 to 8:
1 wild boar leg (approx. 2 to 3 kg)

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 bay leaves
A few sprigs of fresh thyme and rosemary
1 head of garlic (divided into cloves, some peeled, some whole)
20g butter
Olive oil
Salt and pepper (adjust to taste)
A few flakes of a cinnamon stick (optional, for a slightly spicy accent) Prepare the marinade (the day before)
If necessary, clean the leg and prick it with pieces of peeled garlic.
Mix the honey and mustard in a bowl until smooth.
Gently coat the thigh with this mixture, paying particular attention to all sides.
Add salt, pepper, bay leaf and sprinkle the thyme and rosemary over the meat.
