GOLDEN STUFFED GOOSE

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 SAGE AND ONION STUFFING AND PORT WINE CHERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Prepare stuffing and set aside. (See below.)
• Unwrap goose and remove giblets. Reserve neck to make bone broth with the goose carcass after you've finished eating your meal.
• Reserve the heart and the gizzard to include in the stuffing.
• Cooks Note: Sauté the liver in some butter and enjoy as a cook's treat!
• Remove wing tips, and reserve the tips with the neck to make bone broth with goose carcass after you've finished eating your meal.
• Remove the tail and reserve it with the neck and wing tips to make bone broth with carcass.
• Trim off any extra fat or skin from the goose. (See video.)
• Pierce the skin of the entire goose with the tines of a sharp fork. (See video.)
• Stuff the goose with all the stuffing, and place the goose, breast side up, on a rack in a roasting pan.
• Place the roasting pan into the oven and lower the oven temperature to 325°F.
• After 30 minutes, open the oven door, remove the roasting pan from the oven, and place the pan on a heatproof surface. Using a baster, remove the rendered goose fat from the bottom of the roasting pan. (See video.)
• Return the roasting pan to the oven and continue to roast the goose. Check the roasting pan every 30 minutes to remove rendered goose fat.
• A 9-10 pound stuffed goose will take approximately 3 1/2 hours to roast to an internal temperature of 170°F. (See the video where I discuss different internal temperatures based on how rare or how well done you want your goose meat to be.)
• If the goose browns too quickly, you can tent it with aluminum foil. Just remember to remove the foil at about the last 5 minutes of roasting time.
• Once the goose is finished roasting, remove the roasting pan to a heatproof surface and allow the goose to rest for at least 10 minutes.
• Remove the stuffing from the goose and place it in a serving dish.
• Carve the goose and serve it with Port Wine Cherry sauce on the side. (See recipe below.)
• Goose is best enjoyed when first cooked. However, you can store the leftovers well-wrapped in the refrigerator or freezer. If stored in the fridge, the goose will stay fresh for 3 days. If stored in the freezer, the goose will stay fresh for 2-3 months.
• Reheat the goose wrapped in aluminum foil at 325°F until warmed through. (If frozen, allow to thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.)
• Place stale bread cubes in a large bowl.
• Chop goose heart and gizzard into small pieces and add to melted butter. Stir well. Set aside.
• One at a time, add onions, ground sage, and then butter with giblets into the bowl with bread cubes. Mix well after each addition.
• Use this stuffing mixture to stuff the goose.
• Add butter, Port wine, and cherry jam or preserves to a small saucepan and bring up to a simmer on the stovetop, continuing to stir well. Once the mixture comes up to a simmer, turn the heat down to the lowest setting and allow the mixture to reduce by half. This process will take approximately 30 minutes. Once reduced, set aside and keep warm.
• Scrub the exterior of the potatoes and then cut each one in half.
• If you have an angled roasting rack, you can place the potatoes cut side down into the bottom of the roasting pan one hour before the goose has finished cooking. The potatoes will roast in the rendered goose fat.
• If you do not have an angled roasting rack or prefer not to roast your potatoes in the oven, take 1/4 cup of the goose fat and pour it into a large skillet set to medium-low heat on the stovetop.
• Once the goose fat has warmed, place the cut potatoes cut side down into the skillet until the skillet is full. You will need to do this in two batches if you are using 5 pounds of potatoes.
• Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the cut side of the potatoes to brown and each potato to cook through. Depending on the size of your potatoes, this process may take 15-20 minutes.
• Check the cut side of the potatoes periodically to make sure that they are not over-browning. If they begin to brown too quickly and are not cooked through, lower the heat setting from medium-low to low.
• The potatoes are done once a knife can pierce through them smoothly without any resistance.
• Repeat this process with the next batch of potatoes, adding an additional 1/4 cup of the rendered goose fat to the skillet.

ROAST GOOSE WITH TWO STUFFINGS

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 AND STUFFING

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 GARLIC, ONION AND SAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• For stuffing:
• Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, celery and garlic and sauté until soft, about 8 minutes. Combine stuffing mixture, sage, salt, oregano, thyme, pepper and Italian Seasoning in large bowl. Stir in onion mixture and eggs. Add stock and mix well. Set aside.
• For goose:
• Preheat oven to 450°F. Rinse goose inside and out; pat dry, using paper towel. Rub goose inside and out with halved lemon. Season goose inside and out with salt and pepper. Fill main cavity and neck cavity loosely with stuffing. Place any remaining stuffing in small buttered baking dish and cover with foil. Run fingers between breast meat and skin to loosen skin. Place bacon slices under breast skin. Wrap goose in cheesecloth.
• Place goose on rack set into large roasting pan. Roast goose 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F. Continue roasting until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part to thigh registers 180°F., basting every 20 minutes with pan juices, about 1 hour 20 minutes. (Place stuffing in covered baking dish in oven during last 40 minutes.) Remove cheesecloth. Transfer goose to platter. Pass stuffing separately.

GOOSE WITH VINEYARD STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degreees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper with vegetable oil spray. Place the quince and the pear in a simgle layer on the parchment paper and sprinkle the brown sugar on top. Bake in a preheated oven until caramelized, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the ground chicken and pork with the loose sausage meat, Parmesan, bread crumbs, egg, 1/2 tablespoon of the salt, pepper and nutmeg. When the mixture is amalgamated, add the quince and pear, along with the dried cherries, grapes, and pomegranate seeds.
• Turn the oven up to 375 degrees F. Spoon the stuffing loosely into the main cavity of the goose (if there's extra, you can cook it in a buttered ovenproof dish). Rub the butter all over the goose, then season it with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the salt. Tuck the wing tips under the goose, and tie the legs together. Pour the olive oil into a roasting pan and place the goose in it, breast side up. Roast in the top third of the preheated oven until the goose begins to turn brown, about 30 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 325 degrees, pour the white wine over the goose, and cover it loosely with foil. Continue roasting, adding the stock when the wine has evaporated, and basting every 20 minutes, for 2 hours, or until an instant-read thermometer placed in the thickest part of the thigh registers 180 degrees.
• Transfer the goose to a carving board with channels to hold the juice, cover it again with foil, and let it rest for a good 20 minutes before carving.
