WILD GOOSE 1            > Back to Top <


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.       Yield: 6 Servings

 

 

 

 

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.

  2.  In a separate skillet, saute the mushrooms, onions, and olives 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.       Yield: 1 Servings

GOOSE BREAST With BLACK RASPBERRY SAUCE         > Back to Top <
 
1 Goose breast (2 filets) or 2 Duck breasts (4 filets) skinned and boned.
1/2 cup Dry red wine
1/4 cup Soy sauce
1/4 cup Olive oil
1/4 teaspoon Fresh ground pepper

1 teaspoon Soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon Steak sauce
1/4 teaspoon Ground caraway seed

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.

  Sauce:
 Combine all ingredients and and heat. We like to serve this with wild rice dish.       Yield: 1 Servings

1/2 teaspoon Freshly-ground black pepper
2 Tablespoon Dried thyme
2 Vegetable extract cubes

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.       Yield: 8 Servings

 

 

ROAST WILD GOOSE 1         > Back to Top <
 
1 goose
1 large onion, peeled

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.

SMOKED WILD CANADA GEESE          > Back to Top <
 
Boneless skinless goose breasts strips

Brine:
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.       Yield: 4 Servings

 

STEAM ROASTED GIANT GOOSE         > 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
