Provided by Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Entree

Time 5h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 whole goose, 8 to 10 pounds, thawed if frozen
2 cups water
1 small onion, sliced
3/4 teaspoon salt
6 cups soft bread crumbs (9 slices)
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried sage leaves
3/4 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 medium tart apples, chopped (3 cups)
2 medium celery stalks (with leaves), chopped (1 cup)
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1/4 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Remove excess fat from goose.
  • Heat giblets, water, sliced onion and 3/4 teaspoon salt to boiling in 1-quart saucepan; reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 1 hour or until giblets are tender. Strain broth; cover and refrigerate. Remove meat from neck and finely chop with giblets. Toss giblets and remaining ingredients except the flour in large bowl.
  • Heat oven to 350°F. Fill wishbone area of goose with stuffing first. Fasten neck skin to back with skewer. Fold wings across back with tips touching. Fill body cavity lightly. (Do not pack--stuffing will expand while cooking.) Fasten opening with skewers, and lace with string. Pierce skin all over with fork.
  • Place goose, breast side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of inside thigh muscle and does not touch bone.
  • Roast uncovered 3 to 3 1/2 hours (if necessary, place tent of aluminum foil loosely over goose during last hour to prevent excessive browning), removing excess fat from pan occasionally, until thermometer reads 180°F and juice of goose is no longer pink when center of thigh is cut. The center of the stuffing should be 165°F. Place goose on heated platter. Let stand 15 minutes for easier carving.
  • Pour drippings from pan into bowl; skim off fat. Return 1/4 cup drippings to pan (discard remaining drippings.) Stir in flour. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and bubbly; remove from heat.
  • Add enough water to reserved broth, if necessary, to measure 2 cups. Stir into flour mixture. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Serve goose with apple stuffing and gravy.

SPICY ROAST GOOSE WITH APPLE STUFFING



Spicy Roast Goose with Apple Stuffing image

We always have goose for Christmas, and this recipe makes an already special dish magnificent.

Provided by Caroline65

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     French

Time 3h45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (12 pound) goose, thawed if purchased frozen
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
salt and black pepper to taste
8 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
½ cup Calvados (apple brandy)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Wash the goose thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels. Let the goose sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, mix together the allspice, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, salt and pepper in a small bowl and set aside to make a spice rub.
  • Remove any lumps of visible fat from the cavity of the goose, and render the goose fat in a skillet over medium heat until the fat is liquid and the remaining bits are crisp and brown, about 15 minutes. Reserve 3 tablespoons of goose fat and save the rest for another use, or discard.
  • Working in batches if necessary, fry the sliced apples in the reserved goose fat in a large skillet over medium heat until the apple slices are browned, about 10 minutes per batch. Remove the browned apple slices to a large mixing bowl, let cool slightly, and sprinkle with the Calvados and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Mix lightly to combine.
  • With the point of a sharp knife, prick the entire skin of the goose, being careful not to cut into the meat. Rub the exterior of the goose well with the spice rub, massaging the spices into the skin.
  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Spoon the apple stuffing lightly into the cavity of the goose, and lay it on a large sheet of aluminum foil big enough to wrap over the entire goose. Wrap the goose in the foil, seal the edges, and make a 1/2-inch hole in the bottom of the foil packet to allow the fat from the goose to drain. Place the bird breast side up, on a rack set into a large baking pan, and roast the goose in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about an hour and a half. Peel the foil back from the breast meat and roast for another 45 minutes until the skin browns, basting once or twice to prevent burning. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C).
  • Remove the goose from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

ROAST GOOSE AND STUFFING



Roast Goose and Stuffing image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

50 prunes
Earl Grey tea
1/4 pint (1/2 cup) dry vermouth
3/4 pint (1 1/2 cups) goose stock (made from the neck and giblets)
1 ounce butter
4 shallots, finely chopped
Goose liver, blanched and finely chopped
1/4 pint (1/2 cup) port
4 ounces pate de foie gras (or similar)
3 tablespoons fresh bread crumbs
Pinch ground allspice and dried thyme
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (10 pound) oven-ready goose

Steps:

  • Make sure you have a good-sized roasting tin to fit the goose and a grid to place under it. Preheat the oven 425 degrees F. You can make the stuffing in advance.
  • Soak the prunes in hot tea (Earl Grey) until soft, stone them and drain, or get pre-stoned ones - easier. Place prunes, vermouth and stock in a saucepan, bring to the boil, then simmer for ten minutes until tender. Strain but reserve the liquid.
  • Melt the butter in a little pan and gently fry the shallots and liver for a couple of minutes, stirring all the while. Place in a mixing-bowl which will hold all the ingredients. Boil the port in the same pan until reduced to two tablespoons, scrape round the sides and add to the liver mixture. Beat the pate, bread crumbs, allspice and thyme together and combine thoroughly with the rest. Season with salt and a good quantity of the pepper. Stir in the prunes.
  • Put the goose in the sink and pour a kettle of boiling water over it. This ensures a good, crisp skin. Remove and dry with kitchen towels. Salt the cavity and fill loosely with the stuffing, then sew up the vent. Prick the skin all over but not the flesh. Place on the grid in the roasting pan and roast breastside up for 15 minutes.
  • Lower heat to 350 degrees F, turn the goose onto its side. Halfway through, turn onto the other side, then for the last 15 minutes onto its back again. Throughout the cooking, baste every 20 minutes with three tablespoons of boiling water and remove the fat from the pan into a bowl. The easiest way to perform both these operations is with a bulb baster. The whole cooking time should be 2 1/2 hours. Test by piercing the thickest part of the thigh: the juices should run pale yellow.
  • When ready, the goose should be put on a very hot dish. Pour off the remaining fat from the roasting pan and make the gravy from the reserved prune liquid, adding it to the residual juices in the pan. Bring to the boil and simmer for a few minutes, adjust the seasoning, strain into a sauce boat and hand round separately.

ROAST GOOSE WITH TWO STUFFINGS

Great Christmas Goose!

Time 4h

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • To make the outside-in stuffing, soak the cranberries in the port for an hour. Fry the onion and bacon gently in the butter until the onion is tender and the bacon cooked. Add the garlic and fry for another minute or so. Cool slightly then mix with the remaining ingredients, including the cranberries and port, adding enough of the egg to bind. Fry a small piece of stuffing to test seasoning and adjust accordingly.
  • To make the hazelnut and orange stuffing, fry the shallots gently in the butter until golden, then add the sugar and the orange juice. Simmer until the liquid has virtually all evaporated leaving a delicious jammy mass of shallots. Pour boiling water over the sage, leave for one minute, then drain and squeeze dry. Add to the shallots, along with all the other ingredients. Fry a small piece of stuffing to test seasoning and adjust accordingly
  • Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5.
  • To prepare the goose, trim the excess fat from inside the goose. Pack the 'outside-in' stuffing into the neck end of the goose, pressing it firmly and then tucking the flap of skin neatly down around it. Secure firmly underneath with wooden cocktail sticks or a metal skewer.
  • Fill three-quarters the stomach cavity with the hazelnut and orange stuffing.
  • Prick the skin of the goose all over with a fork. Season with salt and pepper. Lay some of the fat removed from the cavity over the thighs to keep them moist. Cover with foil and place on a rack in the oven with a tray underneath so that you can empty out the fat regularly.
  • Roast a 4kg/9lb goose for three hours, a 4.5-5kg/10-11lb goose for three-and-a-half hours and a 5.5kg/12lb goose for four hours.
  • Remove the foil for 30-40 minutes before the end of the cooking time so that the skin can brown and crisp. To test it is cooked, pierce the fattest part of the thigh with a skewer. If the juices run clear then the bird is done.
  • Rest for 20-30 minutes, oven turned off with the door ajar, before carving.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right goose: Look for a goose that is between 10 and 12 pounds. A larger goose will be more difficult to cook evenly, and a smaller goose will not have enough meat.
  • Prepare the goose: Remove the giblets and neck from the goose cavity. Rinse the goose inside and out with cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
  • Season the goose: Rub the goose inside and out with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or sage.
  • Stuff the goose: Fill the goose cavity with your favorite stuffing. You can use a traditional bread stuffing, a rice stuffing, or a vegetable stuffing.
  • Roast the goose: Place the goose on a roasting rack in a roasting pan. Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the pan. Roast the goose at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the goose rest: Once the goose is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving.

Conclusion:

Roast goose is a delicious and festive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your goose is cooked to perfection and that it is a memorable meal for your family and friends.
