Chef John's Roast Christmas Goose image

I used half the wings to make a basic reduction sauce and the subtle smokiness worked wonderfully with the red wine, balsamic vinegar, and blackberry notes. The sauce is certainly optional, as this could be served plain with just some cranberry sauce on the side. I hope you're able to give this very easy-to-prepare, gorgeous roast goose a try.

Time 3h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 whole smoked goose
3 cups water
½ cup red wine
1 whole star anise
¼ cup aged balsamic vinegar
¼ cup blackberry jam
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
salt to taste
2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Remove top wing flat section from each wing. Place goose, breast-side up, in a baking dish or roasting pan.
  • Combine wing sections, water, wine, and star anise in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until meat falls off the bone, about 2 hours. Remove bones and star anise; discard.
  • Roast goose in the preheated oven until completely heated through, about 1 1/4 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 150 degrees F (66 degrees C).
  • Stir balsamic vinegar, blackberry jam, and black pepper into red wine mixture; bring to simmer over medium heat. Simmer until reduced by three quarters, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk in cold butter until completely incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Brush melted goose fat from bottom of pan onto the goose breast. Drizzle with sauce and serve.

This recipe was way too time-consuming. It took me all day to make and it wasn't even worth it in the end.

I followed the recipe exactly and the goose came out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.
