Ooooops Xmas is coming....... The goose is too fat
« on: December 22, 2010, 07:25:20 pm »
As said in title
my goose is too big for the oven
Any ideas guys
I've thought of sawing the legs and a bit of the back off.
Never eaten goose so don't know if it will cook right in 2 halfs
thanks

you could consider making it into a crown. Please remember that goose is fatty and it should be placed on a rack before cooking as the fat will  soak into the breast. cook the thighs and legs later.  Enjoy your goose

Joint and cook in pieces, just as you would the whole one. Should cook quicker. have it on a rack and collect the fat, drain off periodically, you will want to roast your tatties in some of it. The fat is also really good for red cabbage, but not for vegetarians...

the proper continental Xmas dinner - goose, roast tatties and red cabbage!
