To serve, remove the wild boar from the pan and wrap in foil to rest. Mix the flour and cream together until smooth. Strain the pan juices into a saucepan. Bring to a boil then stir in the cream mixture. Simmer for 5-8 mins.
Spread the cabbage and quince on a serving plate and add the wild boar. Serve with mushroom mashed potatoes and the gravy on the side.
