WILD DUCK OR GOOSE WITH SAUERKRAUT
Here's an old recipe I found about 20 plus years ago and have made it several times when I was lucky enough to get a few ducks. The sauerkraut and lemon takes away a lot of the wild taste. Note: If you get a goose and can tell it's old, you're own your own here. They have a tendency of being very tough.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Clean goose under cold running water, paying special attention to the cavity. Poke holes all over the goose using a paring knife. This allows some of the fat to escape while cooking. Place breast-side up onto a broiler pan or roasting rack, and cover loosely with aluminum foil.
- Bake for about 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until very tender. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
- Combine the shredded potatoes, sauerkraut, applesauce, and brown sugar in a slow-cooker. Remove as much meat from the goose as you can, leaving meat in large pieces. Add them to the mixture in the slow cooker. Place the lid on the cooker and cook on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.

ROAST GOOSE WITH SAUERKRAUT
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prick the goose skin all over with a sharp fork, skewer, or thin-bladed knife; try not to hit the meat (the fat layer is usually about 1/4 inch thick). Season the goose with salt and pepper and place it, breast side down, on a rack in a roasting pan.
- Roast the goose for 20 minutes, prick the exposed skin again, then roast for another 20 minutes, or until it begins to brown. Then turn the goose breast side up, prick again, and baste with some of the accumulated pan juices (there will be plenty). Roast for another hour, pricking the skin and basting 2 or 3 times during that period.
- Take the roasting pan out of the oven and remove the goose. Lay the sauerkraut on the bottom of the roasting pan and return the goose to the pan. Raise the heat to 400°F and continue to roast until the meat is done, about another 30 minutes. At that point, all juices, including those from the interior, should run clear, and the leg bone should wiggle a little in its socket. When the bird is done, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thigh will read about 180°F.
- Remove the goose from the pan and set the pan over low heat on the stovetop. Stir in the sugar and wine, scraping the browned bits from the pan, and simmer until the sauce has reduced slightly and the sauerkraut is moist but not swimming in liquid.
- Carve the goose and serve with the sauerkraut.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spread the caraway seed and salt liberally over the goose and inside the cavity. Place in a roasting pan with the gizzards, neck, liver and wings underneath, plus two cups of water. Roast for two to three hours or until cooked, basting frequently with more water and pouring off the fat.
- Rinse the sauerkraut and put into a heavy pot with 1-2 cups water, the caraway seeds and salt. Boil for 30 minutes and drain. In a separate pan saute the onion with the bacon. Add to the sauerkraut. Season with sugar and vinegar to taste. Cook for five more minutes.
- Arrange goose on a serving dish and keep warm. Pour the fat off the cooking juices in the roasting pan. Stir in the flour, cook for a minute, then add the stock. Bring to a boil, season and serve separately in a sauce boat. Place the dumpling around the goose. Serve the sauerkraut in a bowl.
Tips:
- Choose the right goose: Select a young, plump goose with a good layer of fat. This will ensure that the meat is tender and flavorful and the skin is crispy.
- Prepare the goose properly: Remove any excess fat from the cavity of the goose and rinse it thoroughly inside and out. Pat the goose dry with paper towels.
- Season the goose generously: Rub the goose inside and out with a mixture of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. You can also add a citrus marinade to the goose for extra flavor.
- Roast the goose at a high temperature initially: This will help to crisp the skin. Then, lower the temperature and continue roasting until the goose is cooked through.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the doneness of the goose: The internal temperature of the goose should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the goose rest before carving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
Conclusion:
Roast goose with sauerkraut is a classic dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of the tender, flavorful goose and the tangy sauerkraut is irresistible. By following these tips, you can ensure that your roast goose with sauerkraut is a success.
