Like many of people figuring out what to cook for dinner was the question as I left the office and headed home. I had a tundra swan breast marinating in the fridge so how to fix it was the big question. I opted to go with an adapted Irish Dish, Guinness Pie, to get in touch with my roots.
Here is the items you’ll need to make 2 pies and if you don’t want pie it makes a killer stew.
2 packages of rolled pie crusts
6oz of Beer (Guinness if you got it)
Tundra Swan Breast or Goose or Venison or if desperate beef (Aprox 3lbs)
3 or 4 slices of Bacon
1 Can of French Onion Soup
1 Can of Beef Mushroom Soup
¾ lb of chunked Potatoes boiled
1 lb of sliced carrots boiled
½ mushrooms
Corn (I used a small can but could use leftovers)
Green Peas “ “
Dash of Heinz 57
4 tablespoons of Bisquick
1 onion Chopped
Fresh Rosemary
Day before I made up a marinade of Dales Sauce, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and spices and put the swan breast to marinade. Today I cooked up the bacon to add grease to the pan and then cooked the swan breast to medium in the bacon grease. If your not using lean game meat you could skip the bacon. I removed the breast from the pan and sliced it up into bite size chunks and dumped it back into the pan with the onion and the mushrooms, some fresh rosemary and sautéed.
The sauce
Dump the soups into a pan (do not add water), the beer, a dash of Heinz 57, and the Bisquick and stir well to reduce lumps.
Then add the rest of the items including the swan and mix. Follow directions for pie crusts and then pour the mixture into the pie crust and then put on the top crust with vent holes. Pop the pies into a preheated 350 oven and bake for an hour. Pull out let cool for a few minutes and then slice and enjoy.
