Sauteed Maui Wild Boar, Baby Shiitake, and Pohole (serves 2 as part of a shared meal)

While on Maui our friends invited us over for a BBQ and we had an abundance of fantastic food including wild boar and venison hunted by one of them. There was so much food that I took some delicious meat home. I purchased some fresh baby shiitake and pohole (fern shoots that grow in the Maui rain forest) and sauteed them with the BBQ wild boar meat. This is a tasty way to extend another meal with some leftovers! Thank you Curt and family for your hospitality and friendship!
