INGREDIENTS

1 pound ground fillet of moose
4 crushed bay leaves
Coarsely ground black pepper
Pinch of paprika
1 tablespoon chives
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
1 large stalk celery, finely chopped
2 shallots, finely chopped
8 slices bacon
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup red wine or apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon coffee, optional

Sprinkle the ground moose with the spices and herbs and mix with the celery and shallots. Divide the meat into 4 parts and shape it into 4 large patties about 1-1/4 inches thick.

Wrap 2 slices of bacon around each patty and secure them with toothpicks. Sauté the meat patties in 2 tablespoons butter, at high temperature, then lower the heat and continue cooking to rare or medium according to taste.

Remove patties from the skillet and make a sauce with 2 tablespoons butter and red wine. You may add 1 tablespoon coffee, if you desire.

Makes 4 servings

NOTE - This is excellent served with Alaskan wild mushrooms, non-poisonous of course!
