Moose meat pie-the moose meat mix

Here is a traditional moose meat pie recipe. This is the recipe that we make during the festive season. Here is what you need for ingredients:

1 moose roast
baking powder but not very much, just a dash
salt and pepper
thyme and sage, either one will do or both
1 onion
1 package of beef boullion

The first thing that has got to be done is the moose roast has to be rinsed down good. After this place in cold water with a dash of baking soda. Add the baking soda only this one time. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes simmering drain the liquid. Once again rinse the moose meat and clean the pot because impurities will have built up around the inside of the cooking pot. Do not be concerned this is normal. Now place the meat in the pot once again and fill with cold water. Add salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for another 10 minutes. Repeat once again of rinsing and cleaning the pot. Fill with cold water one last time. Add salt and pepper along with either thyme and/or sage. Generally i prefer to use both. Use just enough to suit your taste buds! As well use 1 small onion chopped very fine. It may be you may want to use a little onion powder should you want to boost the flavor of onion in your mix. keep cooking the moose meat on a slow cook simmer. the meat should be so tender that it just melt when pulled apart. When you have reached this stage of the moose meat being cooked place on a platter and chop to a very fine dice. You can also use a blender but do not puree to the point of meat becoming liquid. As well save the cooking liquid. It may be the meat will have become dry and will need just enough to be moistened. The liquid by this time will have lots of flavor. So this is your moose meat mix ready to be place in your pie shells. The pie dough is called Never Fail Pastry. It will follow this posting.
