GOOSE BREAST & RASPBERRY SAUCE
GRILLED GOOSE WITH PRUNE STUFFING AND GRAVY
ROAST WILD GOOSE WITH SAGE STUFFING
WILD GOOSE WITH POTATOES AND ONIONS IN GRAVY
WILD GOOSE WITH GIBLET STUFFING
1 Goose
2 Apples
1 Carrot
1 Bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon Thyme
1 cup Red wine, dry
Salt
3 Onions
2 Strips bacon
1 Stalk celery
3 Sprigs parsley
2 cans Consomme
1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
Soak plucked and cleaned goose overnight in well salted water. Rinse and
dry, then stuff with 2 onions and 2 apples, both quartered. Place breast side up
in open roaster pan and cover with 2 strips thick bacon. Brown in 475 degree
oven until bacon is crisp. Take all fat from pan and discard. Remove bacon. Add
to the pan 1 onion, quartered, 1 carrot, quartered, 1 cut up stalk of celery, 1
bay leaf, 2 or 3 sprigs of parsley, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, 2 cans consomme with 2
cans water, and 1 cup of dry red wine. Cover the pan and roast at 375 degrees
for 2 to 2-1/2 hours, basting often. Goose should be done so that meat will
readily pull off carcass. Remove goose from roaster and place on warm platter.
Remove and discard stuffing. Strain the gravy and thicken with 1 tablespoon
cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water. Correct seasoning if necessary.
Serve with wild rice. Yield: 4 To 6 serving
CHINESE HONEY GOOSE
> Back to Top <
1 Whole goose
HONEY SYRUP MIXTURE
1 Lemon
4 cups Water
3 Tablespoon Honey
3 Tablespoon Dark soy sauce
2/3 cup Rice wine or dry sherry
IF THE GOOSE IS FROZEN, thaw it thoroughly. Rinse the goose well and blot
it completely dry with paper towels. Insert a meat hook near the neck. Using a
sharp knife, cut the lemon into 1/4-inch slices, leaving the rind on. Combine
the lemon slices with the rest of the honey syrup ingredients in a large pot and
bring the mixture to a boil. Turn the heat to low and simmer for about 20
minutes. Using a large ladle or spoon, pour this mixture over the goose several
times, as if to bathe it, until all of the skin is completely coated with the
mixture. Hang the goose in a cool, well-ventilated place to dry for 4-or-5
hours, or hang it in front of a cold fan for about 3 hours--in either case, the
longer the better. Once the goose has dried, the surface of the skin will feel
like parchment. Preheat the oven to 475F. Meanwhile, place the goose on a rack
in a roasting pan, breast side up. Put 2/3 cup of water into the roasting pan.
Now put the goose into the oven and roast it for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350F
and continue to roast for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Remove the goose from the oven
and let it sit for at least 10 minutes before you carve it. Using a cleaver or
sharp knife, cut the skin and meat into pieces and arrange them on a warm
platter. Yield: 6 Servings

BRAISED WILD DUCK OR GOOSE
> Back to Top <
2 large or 4 small Ducks (or1 medium
Goose)
Coarse salt as needed
8 Bay leaves
1/4 cup Peppercorns
1 teaspoon Leaf thyme
4 Whole allspice
1 Apple, quartered
2 Ribs celery, snapped in half
1 medium Carrot, coarsely chopped
1 medium Onion, coarsely chopped
1/4 cups Cooking oil
1 cup Dry red burgundy, divided
1 cup Brown veal stock OR
2 Bouillon cubes dissolved in water
1/2 teaspoon Cornstarch
2 Tablespoon Dry red burgundy Or water
1 Heaping Tablespoon cold butter, if desired
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Rub ducks inside and out with salt. Choose
a roasting pan that is large enough to accommodate the birds without crowding.
Put the pan in the oven to preheat. Place bay leaves, peppercorns, thyme,
allspice, celery and apple chunks inside the ducks, dividing evenly between
ducks.
Tress the ducks with butcher twine so that they retain their shape while
cooking. Pour oil into the hot roasting pan and place the ducks in, breast side
up. Brown for approximately 20 minutes, turning after 10 minutes to brown all
sides. Lower oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Add onions and carrots and turn
the birds breast side down. Cover and cook 20 more minutes. Then add half the
wine and half the stock and continue to braise the birds for 1-1/2 hours more,
covered. Turn the birds occasionally (every 20 minutes or so) during the
braising, adding the remaining wine and stock as needed to keep the roasting pan
moist. Should all liquid evaporate, add a little water.
To test for doneness, pinch drumsticks with fingers. If they don't yield,
continue cooking. Transfer cooked birds to a baking sheet and cover to keep
warm. Strain juice from the roasting pan into a small saucepan.
Carefully skim off all fat from the juice and discard. If more than a 1/2
cup of juice remains, boil it briefly to reduce the amount. Dissolve arrowroot
or cornstarch in 2 tablespoons burgundy or water and add to juice to thicken.
Stir, bring to a boil and remove from heat. Add the butter and stir again. Taste
and correct the seasonings if necessary. Before serving, split the ducks in half
lengthwise, removing loose bones from inside. Place the ducks on a cookie sheet
in a 500 degree F. oven for approximately 10 minutes to crispen. Serve
immediately. Serves 4.
CHEF ALFRED'S GOOSE > Back to Top <
1 Wild goose, dressed, (6 to 8 lbs.)
2 pounds Potatoes
Goose liver, chopped fine
2 medium Onions, chopped
1 Tablespoon Butter
1/2 teaspoon Thyme
1/2 teaspoon Sage or poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Pepper
2 Tablespoon Fat
1/4 cup Water
Flour for dredging
Clean and dress goose; wash in cold water, being sure that cavity is clean. Let
stand in cold water for at least 1 hour before cooking. For the stuffing, boil
the potatoes in salted water with their jackets on. After they have cooked, peel
and mash while hot.
Lightly saute the goose liver and chopped onion in the butter. Add to the mashed
potatoes, together with the herbs, salt and pepper. (You can be generous with
the pepper, as the stuffing is best if very hot.)
Spoon stuffing into the cavity of the goose and sew with cord and skewers. Do
not overstuff. Place on a rack in an uncovered baking pan; baste with the fat.
Add water and bake at 350 F. for 2 hours, basting frequently. In the last half
hour, dredge the breast with a small amount of flour. Baste again with the hot
drippings so the skin will get crisp and brown. Serve hot with applesauce.

TWICE STUFFED GOOSE
> Back to Top <
1 Goose (or duck)
3 Onions -- chopped
2 packages Brown/wild rice
1 cup Mushrooms -- chopped
1/2 cup Green olives -- halved or chopped
1 can Condensed Cream of Mushroom soup
1. In a big sauce pan, prepare the rice (I use Uncle Ben's) just as
the package dictates.

with butter. Mix the rice and the sauted stuff together.
3. Stuff this mixture into the bird's cavity, packing in as much as
you can.
4. Place the bird in a pan or casserole that has tall sides, with
just enough room for him to fit in. Pack the rest of your rice mixture around
the bird, and on top. Bake at 190F for 1 hour, then turn it down to 160F for 4 hours (depending on your elevation).
5. Remove the bird from the oven, and place him on a separate
platter. Scoop out all the stuffing and mix it all together with the stuffing
that was on and around the bird. Re-stuff the bird. With the stuffing that is
left, mix it with the soup, UNDILUTED, straight from the can, and re-pack that
around the bird as before. Return to the oven (325) (160) for another hour.

filets from the marinade, place on foil on a pre-heated broiler and broil about
10 minutes per side, about 5 inches from the heat source. While the breasts are
broiling, prepared the following sauce on the stove. When the breasts are done,
slice then diagonally across the grain and ladle the sauce over them. It's a
nice presentation.

ROAST
GOOSE WITH WILD RICE HAZELNUTS AND APPLE
> Back to Top <
1 Goose (9 to 12 lbs)
Salt
4 cups Wild rice; cooked
2/3 cups Hazelnuts; coarsely chopped
2 large Apples; green colored, peeled, cored & cubed
1/2 cups Onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons Dried savory
3 Tablespoon Parsley; chopped
Black pepper, freshly ground
Flour
Remove the neck, heart, and gizzard from the goose and put them in a
saucepan with 4 cups of water. Let simmer gently, partially covered, for
several hours, until reduced to slightly less than 2 cups. Season the broth to
taste with salt.
For the stuffing; mix together the wild rice, nuts, apples, onion, and
herbs, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Fill the cavity of the goose
with the stuffing, skewer closed, and lace string around the skewers, then truss
the bird. Roast in a preheated 325 degree oven, breast side down, for 11/2
hours, drawing off the fat as it accumulates, then turn and roast another 11/2
hours, or slightly more for an 11-12-pound bird. When done, the juices
should run clear when the bird is pricked where the thigh attaches to the body.
Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat, then sprinkle a little flour
over the bottom of the roasting pan-1 to 2 tablespoons, depending on how thick
you like your gravy. Set the pan over low heat and stir for 2 minutes, scraping
up all the browned bits. Add the reserved goose broth and whisk until smooth.
Taste and season with salt and pepper and serve in a gravy boat alongside the
bird. Remove trussing strings and skewers before carving.

butter
salt and pepper
4 slices thick-sliced bacon
1 cups Sauterne wine
Quarter onion and apples and place in cavity of goose. Spread soft
butter over breast. Salt and pepper to taste. Place 4 slices of
thick sliced bacon over the breast of the goose. Place in a roasting pan,
breast-side up and add 1 c. Sauterne wine. Cover roaster and bake at 270'F
for 2 hours. Uncover and continue to roast at same temperature until brown
and tender. Serves 6. Serve with giblet gravy, whipped potatoes, buttered
carrots, garlic toast, and a good dry white wine.
Yield: 6 Servings
ROAST WILD GOOSE 2
> Back to Top <
Stuff it to preferences. Sprinkle coarse pickling salt over the outside of the
bird. All geese are fat, cook it slow and long to ease out most of the fat. You
can hardly overdo it on bay leaves in the basting liquid. Onions to caramelize
in the roasting pan adds a dreamy flavour. I don't have to remind you, a
southerner, to use lots of sage in the stuffing... use gobs of it. It is
absolutely delicious with goose.
A nice gravy is made with the drippings. Skim off the goose fat - save it
to make a schmaltz. The heavier portion is watery and thickish with caramelized
onion. Deglaze the pan with a splash (1/4 cup) of Dujardin. Add 1/2 cup of flour
to two cups cold water, rotate a whisk briskly between the palms to incorporate
the flour. Add to the boiling base
to the desired flavor and consistency. Season with salt and a healthy
dollop of fresh coarsely ground (cracked) black pepper.

1 quarts Cold water
46 gm Salt
35 gm Powdered dextrose or
24 gm Sucrose
2 gm Sodium nitrite or
1-1/4 ounces Prague powder #1
I used boneless and skinless breasts strips for this project. I soaked
the breasts for 40 hours (at 36 degrees) in the brine.
Next, I put the goose breasts in pairs in ham stockinnettes and air dried
them for 40 hours until they formed a nice pellicle.
I hung the goose breasts in the smoker and smoked them at around 90
degrees for 36 hours and consumed 3 pans of apple chips. (Half of the last
pan of chips was juniper and it added a delightful flavor) After the smoking, I
heated the smoker up to about 150 and warmed the meat until the internal temp
was 145. Then take out the goose and cool it quickly and refrigerate.
The result is goose breast which you can slice very thinly with a
razor sharp knife (or slicing machine) which is delightful served with thin
slices of rye bread and sliced shallots. It has a somewhat
"raw" texture to it which gives it real bite appeal.

> Back to Top <
1 large Goose, plucked dressed
clean
1 Lemon (juice from)
Salt
STUFFING
2 Onions (medium)
4 Tablespoons Butter
10 Fresh sliced Mushrooms
1/2 teaspoon Pepper
1/2 cup Port wine
3 Celery stalks, minced
1 teaspoon Salt
3 cups Croutons
1/4 teaspoon All spice
Clean all loose fat from inside bird. Cut off wing tips at elbow,
cut off neck close to body, cut off tail (the bird's, not yours). With fork or
sharp knife, prick skin at the base of each wing, the back of the legs and where
thigh meets back. This will prevent accumulation of melted fat. Rub bird
inside and out with lemon juice and lightly salt the cavity. Place the bird on
rack in roaster pan, breast side up. Add 1 inch of water to the pan, place on
top of stove, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and steam for 1 hour.
Add more water if necessary. Do not burn dry.
To make the stuffing, belt butter in heavy fry pan over medium heat,
lightly saute onion and celery, add mushrooms. Stir croutons, salt, pepper
and all spice. Pour wine over and mix gently, remove from heat.
Preheat over to 325, remove goose from roaster and let cool 15-20
minutes. Discard the liquid from
the bottom of the pan. Loosely fill the cavity of the goose with stuffing,
use skewers and string to close opening, replace goose on rack in roasting pan.
Add 2 cups fresh water and roast covered for 2-3 hours, depending on size of
bird. after 1-1/2 hours baste bird every 15 minutes and remove cover for the
final 30 minutes to brown. Make gravy from the pan drippings, and let your
creativity flow as your prepare the rest of the meal to compliment this noble
bird. Yield: 1 Servings
