For those who say 'they don't like duck / goose'
1 large cast iron pot / skillet.
6 slices bacon chopped
1 medium onion chopped
1 red bell pepper chopped
1 stalk celery chopped (3-4 stalks, as needed to taste)
1 pkg mushrooms chopped or 2 small cans of pieces
4 ducks (species doesn't matter, they're ALL good) or goose. Have also used squirrel, rabbit, quail, dove, pheasant and a mixture of all.
4 cups wild rice
salt, black pepper, garlic powder, flour
Heat skillet and add bacon, onion, bell pepper and celery.
Debone meat and cut into bite size cubes. Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, flour to coat meat.
Prepare rice in a separate pot.
May need to add a bit of oil to skillet, depending on how much fat is rendered from bacon.
Remove bacon mixture to cool and
Fry up meat until almost done.
Add bacon mixture, mushrooms, 2 cups of hot water (have also used chicken broth) to skillet.
Mix 2 tbsp. flour in 1 tbsp. hot water. Slowly add to skillet to thicken gravy.
Fill plate with rice and generously cover with gravy and meat.
Ok, there is bacon in the recipe, so I'm sold.
