Place the goose meat in a pot with the water and boil for 70 minutes, until tender.
Remove the meat, strain the broth, and shred the meat into large pieces.
Wash and drain the kavilca bulgur, then dice the onion.
Soften the onion in butter for 6 minutes.
Add the bulgur and fry for 3 minutes, then add the lentils, goose broth, salt, and black pepper.
Cook the pilaf over low heat for 18 minutes.
Place the goose meat on top of the pilaf and steam covered for 10 minutes.
Fluff the pilaf from bottom to top and serve hot.
💡 Tip: If the goose is very salty, discard the first brief boiling water; the second broth gives the pilaf a more balanced salt level.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the pilaf on a wide copper tray with cranberry sherbet and pickles for a crowded winter table.
