Notes

This is such a unique change to the typical meaty stew formula. The mustard-based barbecue sauce adds a slightly bitter sweetness to the otherwise savory explosion. Wereboar are definitely tricky to take down, so if you need to source a different meat feel free to use chicken thighs and pork. This stew is heavy, hearty, and filling, easily granting a +1 Constitution mod to any Dungeons and Dragons adventurer who can finish a bowl!
