1. Slice the pumpkin very thinly.
2. Heat a pan with oil and cook the pumpkin slices until soft.
3. Remove pumpkin and set aside.
4. Slice the mushrooms thickly.
5. In the same pan, sauté the mushrooms with rosemary and herbs until golden.
6. Season with salt.
7. Cut the pecorino cheese into thin slices, removing the rind.
8. In a bowl, combine the wild boar mince with small pieces of lard (cut with a knife).
9. Season with salt and mix well with your hands to incorporate the lard.
10. Form the mixture into irregular patties.
11. Heat a pan with a drizzle of oil and cook the patties until a nice crust forms, turning once.
12. In the last minute, top each patty with pecorino cheese and cover to melt.
13. Toast the burger buns in the pan or on the grill.
14. Assemble the burger: place pumpkin and mushrooms on the bottom bun, then the patty with melted cheese.
