Pound 3 cloves of garlic in a mortar, add 1 teaspoon of paprika powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, the juice of 1 lemon, and 1/2 glass of olive oil.

Trivia
The wild boar carré is a prized cut that comes from the back of the animal, highly appreciated in traditional Italian cuisine, especially in mountainous regions where hunting is part of the gastronomic culture.
