Goose recipe

tulip12

Hi

My husband has been given some leg and breast meat from a wild goose and is looking for possible recipes and info on best way to cook it. We have been told that unlike a farmed goose the meat is very lean and normal oven roasting will dry it out.
Any info would be very much appreciated. Thanks Tulip x

Hi Tulip, I love goose - maybe you could try covering / wrapping the leg and breast with with bacon, as some recipes suggest with turkey, and you could also try a moist stuffing with it - if the meat is very lean, perhaps a sausage meat stuffing. Another option (I haven't tried it, as all my geese have been heavy on the fat!) could be to wrap it in a foil parcel, so that none of its juices evaporate or get roasted away.

Hi Jo

Thanks for your reply,
I think we will try the idea of wrapping the meat in foil parcel to keep it moist,
Thanks again Tulip x

I made a lovely cassoulet type thing from goose. I fried and onion then put in some herbs, tinned tomatoes and stock, some pieces of bacon and then the goose and a tin of beans and simmered it for a bit. Then put in a baking dish wish some bread crumbs and a tiny bit of grated cheese and baked in the oven. It was lovely with some veg.

ETA - It had pieces of sausage too - leftover xmas pigs in blankets!
