Filling - Cut goose liver into small ½-inch cubes (16 pieces). Pan sear in hot pan for 2
seconds on each side. Top with truffle paste on each cube and set aside in freezer. Hand
whip egg to make egg wash. Roll perogie dough into thin 2-inch circles, fill with goose
liver, and flip over as an envelope. Seal the outside with egg wash.

into small pieces. Sauté with fresh, peeled ground ginger in a little oil, and add white
wine. Add chicken stock and simmer until pumpkin is soft. Purée and add cream.
Season with salt and pepper.
Icewine Gelée - Heat icewine. Dissolve gelatin leaves in hot water and add to hot
icewine. Pour onto baking tray and let set in fridge. Once set, cut into small fine dices.
