The Hirshon Victorian Roast Goose with Sage, Onion & Apple Stuffing image

Provided by The Generalissimo

Number Of Ingredients 29

9 lb. organic goose
2 tsp coarse sea salt
2 medium onions, peeled
4 large shallots, peeled (TFD change, original used 1 additional onion)
4 large apples, peeled, cored and chopped (Bramleys for Victorian preference, or TFD prefers honeycrisp)
2 tbsp crumbled between the palms dried sage leaves
½ tsp freshly-ground black pepper
1 tbsp cold butter, finely cubed
Kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper
GARNISHES:
sliced apples, parsley or watercress
***
FOR THE BROWN GRAVY:
Gizzard, neck, heart, liver and wing tips of the goose, chopped
1 onion
1 carrot, sliced
2 tablespoons rendered goose fat (preferred) or cooking oil
3 cups stock or beef bouillon
1 tablespoon liquid Kitchen Bouquet (TFD addition, but recommended to help flavor and color the gravy)
1 bay leaf
3 sprigs parsley
1 sprig thyme
Salt & pepper to taste
***
FOR THE OPTIONAL PORT WINE SAUCE:
½ cup ruby port
1 teaspoon mustard
Pinch cayenne pepper
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Prepare the goose by thoroughly rubbing the body cavity with the salt. Leave uncovered in the refrigerator overnight to dry out the skin for ultimate crispiness!
  • The next day, chop the onion and shallot very finely then combine with the chopped apples, sage, pepper and butter. Use this mixture to stuff both the neck and body cavities of the goose. Sew or skewer the openings close and truss the bird.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • The goose is best cooked by placing it on a rack fitted in a deep baking dish, where the juices drip off. Prick the breast of the goose all over with a fork to allow fat to escape, which in turn will also help in crisping the skin as the fat escapes. Sprinkle kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper over the skin.
  • Roast the goose at 450 Fahrenheit for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and turn the goose onto its side. After 1 hour, turn goose onto its other side. For the final 15 minutes, roast goose on its back.
  • Drain off the dripping fat from the roasting tin at least twice during the cooking, and use these drippings to baste the goose as it cooks. This prevents extra dryness of the breast while the rest of the goose cooks. Save the fat for the future, it makes the best roast potatoes on earth!
  • Baste the goose every 20 minutes during entire roasting time. (Allow approximately 15 minutes per pound for the total weight of the stuffed goose, or 2 ½ hours for a 9 pound stuffed goose. The legs should move up and down freely, and the juices should run a pale yellow - do NOT overcook!
  • Prepare the gravy while goose is roasting. In a large saucepan, brown the goose parts, onion and carrot in the fat. When they are nicely browned, add the stock and seasonings. Simmer, partially covered, for about 1 hour, skimming occasionally. Strain, degrease and pour into a warmed sauce-boat for serving.
  • For the optional port wine sauce, combine the ingredients in a small saucepan. Just before serving the goose, slit open the breast and pour the sauce on top.
  • Serve with potatoes roasted In goose fat with herbs, garlic, salt and pepper and all the garnishes and appropriate trimmings.

ROAST GOOSE WITH POTATO & STUFFING



Roast goose with potato & stuffing image

As a Christmas turkey alternative, roast goose - free-range and oozing with flavour - is hard to resist

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 5h

Number Of Ingredients 13

4.5 kg oven-ready goose , neck, giblets and wishbone removed and saved for the stock
1 onion , sliced
1 carrot , sliced
1 bouquet garni (a sprig of thyme ; 3-4 parsley stalks; 1 celery stick, sliced; and 6-7 peppercorns - all in a muslin bag)
25g butter
450g onions , chopped
450g cooking apples , peeled and chopped
2 tsp thyme or lemon thyme leaves
2-3 tbsp fresh orange juice
900g floury potatoes , halved if large
3 tsp finely grated orange zest
bay leaves
Bramley apple sauce

Steps:

  • Make the stock. Put the neck, giblets and wishbone from the goose into a large saucepan with the vegetables and bouquet garni. Cover with cold water and bring to the boil then simmer, half covered, for 11⁄2-2 hours. Strain the stock when it is ready. (You can make and strain the stock up to 24 hours ahead, and keep it in a covered container in the fridge.)
  • Make the stuffing. Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan, add the onions, cover and sweat on a gentle heat for about 5 minutes. Tip in the apples, thyme and orange juice and cook, covered, until the apples are soft and fluffy - about 10 minutes.
  • Boil the potatoes in their skins for about 20 minutes until tender. Drain and peel when cool enough to handle, then mash and add to the fruit and onion mixture with the zest and seasoning. Allow to get quite cold before stuffing the goose.
  • Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4/fan 160C. Season the cavity of the goose with salt and freshly ground pepper and rub a little salt into the skin. Stuff the cavity loosely and roast for about 2 hours. To test if it's done, prick a thigh at the thickest part: the juices that run out should be clear. If they are still pink, the goose needs a little longer.
  • Put the goose on a serving platter and put it in a very low oven while you make the gravy. Spoon the fat from the roasting tin and save it in a covered container in the fridge - it will keep for months and is great for roast potatoes. Pour about 600ml/1 pint of the strained stock into the tin and bring to the boil on the hob. Using a small whisk, scrape the tin well to dislodge the flavourful meaty deposits. Taste, then strain and serve in a hot gravy boat. Serve the goose garnished with bay leaves and hand the gravy and apple sauce separately.

Golden stuffed goose image

This mix of the traditional and the trendy makes a glorious family lunch and a magnificent centrepiece

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 oven-ready goose (about 4.5kg/10lb)
1 ¼kg floury potato , such as King Edward, peeled and cut into chunks
50g butter
8 leeks , trimmed, chopped into long slices and rinsed, trimmings reserved
6 plump garlic cloves
2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, stalks reserved
2x packs parsley , leaves chopped, stalks reserved, plus a few sprigs for serving
finely grated zest of 2 unwaxed lemons
1 tbsp vegetable oil or sunflower oil
goose neck and gizzard, roughly chopped
2 carrots , chopped
1 onion , chopped
leek trimmings, finely sliced
parsley and thyme stalks
150ml/¼ pint red wine
150ml/¼ pint port
500ml chicken stock
230g jar cranberry or port sauce
50g fresh or defrosted cranberries
6 medium Cox or Braeburn apples
25g butter
2 tsp golden caster sugar

Steps:

  • Make the stuffing. Boil the potatoes for 10-15 minutes until soft enough to mash, then drain. Meanwhile, heat the butter in a large pan and fry the leeks, garlic and thyme leaves, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until soft. Mash the leeks and potatoes together with the parsley, lemon zest and salt and pepper. (This can be prepared up to a day ahead and kept in the fridge until needed.)
  • Preheat the oven to fan 200C/ conventional 220C/gas 7. Pull out the two big lumps of fat from inside the cavity of the goose. Use a skewer to prick the skin all over, especially on the legs - try not to pierce the flesh. Rub lots of salt over the skin and in the cavity. Pack the cavity with stuffing, then loosely tie the legs together with string.
  • Lift the goose onto a roasting rack in a large roasting tin. Roast for 30 minutes. Reduce the oven to fan 160C/conventional 180C/gas 4 and roast for another 2⁄2½hours. Meanwhile, make the gravy and stuff the apples (see steps 4 and 5). Check during roasting that the fat released from the goose hasn't risen to touch the bird - if it's close, carefully pour it into a bowl. At the end of the roasting time, check the bird is cooked by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the thigh to see if the juices run clear; if not, give it another 15 minutes and check again.Remove from the oven when ready and increase the heat to fan 180C/conventional 200C/gas 6, for the apples. Allow the goose to rest for 20 minutes before carving.
  • For the gravy, heat the oil in a heavy-based pan over a highish heat. Fry the goose neck, gizzard and carrots for 10 minutes until brown. Add the onion, leek trimmings and herb stalks and cook for 5 minutes. Pour over the wine and port and boil for 5 minutes until reduced and syrupy. Pour in the stock, stir well and simmer for about 20 minutes until you have a mahogany gravy. Strain into a small pan, ready to reheat before serving.
  • For the apples, mix the cranberry sauce and cranberries in a bowl. Cut a thin slice off the bottom of the apples. Score the skin all round their middles, then tunnel out the stalks and cores. Stand the apples on a shallow baking tray. Pile the cranberry mix into the cavities, top with a dot of butter and scatter over the sugar.While the goose is resting, increase the oven to fan 180C/conventional 200C/gas 6. Bake the apples for 20-30 minutes until soft and starting to split and the cranberries are oozing juice.
  • Reheat the gravy. Put the goose on a large platter, surrounded by the apples and sprigs of parsley. Serve with the potato stuffing, Quick braised celery and carrots and the gravy. And what to do with all the goose fat? Use it to make the duck confit and the roast potatoes.

ROAST GOOSE WITH APPLES



Roast Goose With Apples image

When I was reading about holiday food traditions around the world, this one sounded so good to me: Russian Roast Goose with Apples. I personally never had roast goose over the holidays, although I hear about it everywhere! In Russia, a roast goose with apples is like a Thanksgiving turkey with stuffing. Roasting a goose is not the same as roasting a chicken or a turkey; It's skin is very thick and fatty, so it requires a few extra steps to prepare for roasting compared to other birds. It is simple, though, and well worth it! Enjoy this holiday classic!

Provided by Sommer Clary

Categories     Goose

Time 2h20m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 goose (12-14 lbs.)
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 head garlic, cut in half
1 bunch fresh thyme sprig
1 bunch fresh sage
1 onion, quartered
1 dried bay leaf
2 cups water
4 large shallots, halved
1 red apple, quartered
1 green apple, quartered

Steps:

  • If your goose is frozen, place in the refrigerator 24-48 hours before roasting to thoroughly defrost. Remove the goose from the refrigerator and leave at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove the neck and giblets, rinse goose thoroughly with cold running water, and pat dry with paper towels. Trim as much of the access fat as possible from the opening of the cavity.
  • With the point of a sharp knife, prick the skin all over the goose, making sure not to pierce the flesh at all. Fold the neck flap under the body of the goose, and pin the flap down with a wooden toothpick. Generously sprinkle the cavity with salt and pepper, and insert the garlic, apple, onion, shallots, thyme, sage and bay leaf. Tie the legs together with a piece of kitchen twine. Sprinkle the outside of the goose with salt and pepper, and place in a shallow roasting pan (breast side up). Carefully pour the water into the pan (this will prevent the grease that drips into the pan from burning).
  • Roast the goose in the oven until it turns a golden brown, about one hour. Every 30 minutes or so, use a baster to remove the grease from the pan. After 1 hour of roasting, reduce the heat to 325 degrees . Roast until the goose is very well browned all over and an instant read thermometer inserted into a breast (not touching the bone) reads 180 degrees (about 1 hour after reducing the heat).
  • Remove the goose from the oven and place on a platter. Allow it to rest for 15-20 minutes before serving. Dress with apples and herbs, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose a high-quality goose: A good goose will have a plump breast and legs, and the skin should be smooth and free of blemishes.
  • Prepare the goose properly: Remove the giblets and excess fat from the goose cavity. Rinse the goose inside and out with cold water and pat dry.
  • Make a flavorful stuffing: The stuffing is a great way to add flavor and moisture to the goose. Use a combination of bread cubes, apples, onions, and herbs.
  • Roast the goose at a high temperature: This will help to crisp the skin and seal in the juices. Roast the goose for about 20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the goose rest before carving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Roast goose is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can easily create a roast goose that is sure to impress your guests. Remember to choose a high-quality goose, prepare it properly, make a flavorful stuffing, roast the goose at a high temperature, and let it rest before carving. With a little effort, you can create a delicious and memorable meal.
