50 g streaky smoked bacon
250 g Mushrooms
2 TABLESPOONS Oil

150 ml Red wine

7-10 Tbsp Pepper
2-3 stem(s) flat leaf parsley
1 TABLESPOON coarse mustard

Directions

1
Wash the meat and cut into cubes. Press juniper berries with the bottom of the pot and put them into a bowl together with the meat and port wine and mix. Peel onion. Finely dice bacon and onion. Clean and slice the mushrooms
2
Heat the oil in a frying pan. Fry the bacon for 3-4 minutes while turning. Add onion and mushrooms and steam for 4-5 minutes. Dust with flour and sauté briefly. Add red wine bit by bit. Fill up with broth. Add the meat with the marinade and simmer covered over a low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let it cool down
3
In the meantime, wash parsley, shake dry and chop finely. Mix mustard, parsley and egg yolk. Fill the game ragout into a pie dish (25 cm Ø). Take the puff pastry out of the fridge 5-10 minutes before use. Brush the edge of the pie mould with water. Place the pastry on top and cut off at the outer edge of the form. Press the dough on the edge. Brush with the mustard-egg mixture. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for 30-40 minutes. Cover with foil after 20 minutes if necessary. Remove the pie from the oven and serve immediately
