Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 2 - 3 Large Duck Breasts about a pound
• 1/2 cup celery diced
• 1 cup carrots sliced into rounds
• 1 cup green peas canned, drained or frozen peas work too
• 2 potatoes diced
• 1 cup green beans canned, drained, optional
• 1 cup whole kernel corn canned, drained, optional
• 1 onion chopped
• 1 tsp garlic fresh, minced
• 4 cup chicken broth or vegetable
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour add more to make more gravy
• 2 pie crusts make your own or buy it
• 1 egg
• salt to taste
• pepper to taste

Instructions

 

Create Filling

• Cut the duck breasts into bite sized cubes and season with salt and pepper
• Braise the duck, and onion on the stove top on low heat for 1 1/2 - 2 hours (reserve 2 cups of stock for later) making sure to keep the pieces of duck partially covered with stock during the cooking process
• Add the potatoes, carrots, and celery to a well greased skillet, season to taste and cook until tender
• Add the peas and continue cooking for about 5 minutes
• Add the duck to the skillet along with the garlic and cook for another minute
• Add the flour and mix well with the vegetables, cook for about 5 minutes
• Add chicken or vegetable stock while continuously stirring until you get a smooth gravy (Alternatively use the stock from the braising process strained (this will give the pot pie more duck flavor)

Assemble Pies

• Preheat oven to 350
• Divide the pie filling evenly into the 2 pie crusts
• Place another crust over the pie filling and crimp the pie crusts together with a fork
• Make an egg wash and brush onto the pie crust
• Make a few slits in the pie crust to vent the steam while cooking
• Bake until the pie crust is golden brown. (about 45 minutes)

Notes

For moist tender duck it's best to soak in a salt brine for a couple of hours prior to cooking (not required)

This should make enough for 2 pies.

You can substitute any of the vegetables or add additional as desired
