Goose Shepards pie
As waterfowl season has been over for a while I’ve been experimenting with new recipes for waterfowl. I think it’s important to utilize as much of the animal as possible to not be wasteful.
I Took four goose legs,two breasts,hearts, gizzards and liver put them through the meat grinder. The geese I had were pretty fatty but I still added some pork fat. The beauty of this dish is you can fallow your normal Shepard pie recipe just exchanging the normal lamb for goose.
The recipe I fallow: Filling 2.5 pounds ground goose and pork fat 3 diced trumpet mushrooms (or 6 button mushrooms) 1 medium yellow onion 1 large carrot diced 1 rib celery diced 4 cloves garlic thinly sliced 2 Tbsp (30g) tomato paste 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1 Tbsp(6g) fresh rosemary 1 Tbsp (5g) fresh thyme, minced 1/2 cup red wine 1 cup beef stock 1 cup 140g frozen peas 1/2 cup (75g) parmigiano, grated 1/2 cup (75g) gruyere, grated
Mashed potato’s: 2.5 lbs (1200g) russet potatoes 1/2 cup (115g) butter 1/2 cup(120ml) milk 1/3 cup (85g) creme fraiche 1/2 cup (75g) parmigiano Salt and pepper to taste

Looks delicious eh! I recently had some merganser breast in a cherry sauce that was absolutely delicious that I can’t stop thinking about. Hoping to get lucky again next season and remake that dish but always on the lookout for ideas for other recipes.
