Wild Boar Burgers with Caramelized Onions

Our Wild Boar Burgers are a change from the typical beef burgers. With the addition of caramelized onions and our homemade Tzatziki sauce, it really brings the burger to another level. The caramelized onions adds a slight sweetness to the burger, while the Tzatziki sauce adds a refreshing and creamy balance. All this is then sandwiched between two paleo burger buns and some lettuce.

I've always been a fan of wild boar meat. It's got a richer flavor than beef, and it's also leaner. When I was younger, I used to go hunting with my father, and we would always bring home wild boar. My mother would cook it up for us, and it was always one of my favorite meals. Wild Boar Burgers with caramelized onions and Tzatziki sauce is not something my mother made, but something I recently cooked up. It's a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is a great way to change up your burger routine. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
