Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Place 6 wild boar sausages on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes until sausages are evenly browned and reach an internal temperature of 160°F.

  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until emulsified.
  4. Step 4: Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss thoroughly to coat all vegetables evenly.
  5. Step 5: Serve grilled wild boar sausages hot alongside a generous portion of spicy mustard slaw.
