Goose recipe anyone?

[ihedrick]

I was given a goose; and am looking for suggestions on cooking the darn thing. This is my first goose and had quite a time cleaning it; so I hope to make the meal worth the efforts.

This is my grandmas recipe that I do whenever I luck into one of the dark 'n greasy ones.I looooooove goose!
-roasted goose-
Quarter a large onion,and two apples,and place in the body cavity.Slather down the breast with butter,and salt&pepper to taste.
Put slices of thick-sliced bacon over the breast,and use toothpicks to pin 'em in place.Place in roasting pan,breast up.
Surround goose with whatever other veggies ya have on hand(I like carrots,celery,and more onions).
Add a cup of liquid.Water is fine,but red wine is better.I used Miller high life once,and nobody complained.
Cover,and roast @275 for two hours.
Uncover,and continue to bake until brown and tender.

If you are familiar with smoking meats, smoked goose is a great way to go. My kids think its candy. If its skinned, I coat it with mustard and then pour on the spices, never the same spices but always turns out great.

Salt + thyme [sp?]. Baste frequently with its own fat, bake in oven at low tems - 350-375*. Serve with salt potatoes and red cabbage and its own drippings. You make me homesick! LOL... Much, much better than turkey!

Roast it with armagnac and winter pears. Or salt the raw meat for about 18 hours, then rinse, poach in fat, and can for confit d'oie. Ormaybe cook the meat in a heav pot in the oven with some of it's fat, then pull the meat apart with two forks, pack into jars, pour over more fat, and you've got rillettes (can also be canned) to eat spread on good bread with salt and pepper and a pickle.
