Well guys, got my first goose :oops: believe it or not....been hunting all my life, but never really goose till a couple times this fall.

As suggested in another thread - I filletted out the breasts and took the legs. Can anybody suggest some good recipes for goose breast that the wife may enjoy.....that is key as that would help her encouraging me to hunt more goose!!! Maybe mexican???

Thanks,
Rob
 
Hi Rob... congrat's

Seriuosly, I'd cook the goose as I would chicken especially if your looking for Mexican quisine . Enchilada's , quesadilla's ect , may want to add a bit more spice than normal :wink: Good luck! 8)

If I come across any recipes persay... than I will add to the thread :)
 
I can relate to your problem it is always a challenge around my house to get the wife and kids to eat wild meat.

I would put those breasts on the BBQ and BBQ them with some BBQ sauce and then dice them and make a Goose taco salad. Use lots of Salsa and sour cream that would hide and wild taste.

I would also like to try Goose Jerky...I was told that it is real good.

Good luck
 
try this recipe.......
Slowcooker Goose with Noodles
A loaf of French garlic bread goes good with this

Ingredients
1 14 oz can stewed tomatoes
1 green pepper
1 large pkg broad noodles
2 large white onions
2 medium sized carrots
1 red pepper
2 stalks of celery
4 whole goose breasts( 2 birds), cubed


Instructions
Peel and slice onions, then simmer covered for 1 hour or until caramelized
Peel and cut all vegetables into 2' matchstick sized pieces
Cube the breast meat

Dump stewed tomatoes into slow cooker, add mixed vegetables, goose cubes, caramelized onions.
Cook on low heat for approx. 12 to 14 hours.
Prepare broad noodles as directed on pkg.
When all is ready, mix together 2 tbsp flour and 1 cup water to form a paste. Slowly add to goose mixture to make a thick gravy(stir well) or you can add a small can of tomato paste instead.(it thickens too)
Divide noodles onto 4 plates, cover with goose mixture and serve with garlic bread.

I find a nice light ice cold Lager goes well with this dish. Enjoy!

Rob here is a great recipe that I have used on ducks and geese for a few years now and actualy its a marinade for flank steak,

1/3 cup oil, 1/3 cup redwine vinegar, 1/3 cup Dark soya sauce

Marinate over night and cook the breasts on the BBq just like a fillet mignon and I cook mine med rare. Then slice it 1/4 inch across the grain so to speak and dine away
 
I filletted out the breasts and took the legs.


whoever told you to do that you should kiss them..... my first goose I plucked, and plucked and plcuked..... number two I took the breasts and legs and called it a day and was much happier with the results, deboned the breasts and cooked them same as chicken in a mushroom soup mix recipie.

turned out great, especially after I added about 1/2 pound of chantrel mushrooms to the recipie.
 
Substitute geese where you'd use beef, not chicken. Goose stew or chili is wonderful, same for teriyaki stir fry. Another is to bake the breasts, let them cook somewhat and then pull all the meat off in strips. Cut it to 3" long or so, and then put it all in a slow cooker with your favourite BBQ sauce (thin it somewhat) and let it simmer for 30 minutes or so. Serve on a bun, fabulous. BAM! - that was a gunshot, by the way, killing another goose.

Make a garlic, onion and black peppercorn paste with olive oil, and put it between the two breasts, and then tie them together with butchers twine and cook it like a roast in a covered dish. Make gravy from the juice. BAM!!

Slice the breasts across the grain into 1" medallions, and marinade overnight in your fav (soya, wine, olive oil, LIQUID SMOKE, and some brown sugar) and then put the meat into a tightly sealed foil pouch and bake at 250 for an hour. Reduce the marinade into a sauce. Dont' tell anybody, but the legs are the most tender.

NEVER OVERCOOK WILD GAME!

And God help you if I ever hear of you turning goose into pepperoni!

These three recipes were sent to me by our very own Doug a while back... all fantastic. I hope he doesn't mind me sharing!

I wonder if he ever found any KFC mix for his fish?

GOOSE BREAST JERKY

Trim all blood-shot and damaged tissue, feathers, fat, etc from breasts. Cutting with the grain, slice the breasts into thin strips of meat. If it is a thick breast, cut the strips in half width-wise to keep the pieces thin and long. In a covered rectangular Tupperware container or similar, lay a row of strips touching each other, and all running the same direction, until the bottom of the container is covered with strips of meat. Season with garlic powder, seasoning salt, and any other spice that you like, both onion powder and lemon pepper are quite good, for example. Sprinkle soya sauce over the entire layer of meat, soaking all the pieces fairly well. Lay a second layer of strips at ninety degrees to the first layer, then season and sprinkle with soya sauce. Continue until all the meat has been laid out in layers in the container, each layer at ninety degrees to the one below it, and sprinkle the top of it VERY liberally with soya sauce. Cover and place in the fridge. IF the top of the container is leak-proof, turn the container upside down after twelve hours, then right side up in another twelve hours. Leave it in the fridge for a MINIMUM of twelve hours, 24 is better, 36 is about right, 48 is OK too, but not too much longer than that.

Skewer individual pieces of meat with a toothpick, near one end or the other, and hang on the racks of your smoker, so that no two pieces are touching, and if you have more than one rack, ensure that the pieces do not touch top to bottom either. Smoke with hickory or mesquite or cherry wood, for about six hours or until the meat is well cooked but not yet dry. Allow to cool, remove toothpicks, and the jerky is ready to eat. It will keep for months in the freezer, weeks in the fridge, or minutes in your pocket.


DOUG’S SWEET AND SOUR GOOSE LEGS

1 doz (or so) Canada Goose legs
1 can mandarin oranges
1 can pineapple tidbits
soya sauce
brown sugar OR maple syrup
white wine (or red wine, who cares?)
seasoned salt.

Trim legs, pluck off any feathers, cut away any shot-damaged meat, discard any shot (!), and give the legs a good rinse under cold water.

In a slow cooker or covered Dutch Oven/similar heavy pot, combine oranges, pineapples (with the juice in both cases), about 1/3 cup soya sauce, about 1/3 cup maple syrup OR about 3 tbsp brown sugar, about 1 cup of dry white wine, and a goodly seasoning of salt. Mix well, and add the goose legs, stirring so the legs are covered with the liquid.

Cook very slowly in the slow cooker, or on the stove top, or in the oven, for several hours. The meat is cooked when it falls off the bones easily.

Serve two to three legs per person, and spoon the marinade over steamed rice.



DOUG’S TERIYAKI GOOSE BREASTS

4 - 6 Canada Goose breasts
1 bottle low fat (or no fat) Italian salad dressing
2 tsp ground ginger
½ cup honey
½ cup soya sauce

Trim breasts, pluck off any feathers, cut away any shot-damaged meat, discard any shot, give the breasts a good rinse under cold water, and slice them thinly, length-wise, into small strips about ¼” thick.

Mix the other ingredients together to make a teriyaki marinade. Add the goose breast strips to the marinade and put it in the fridge for 24 hours or so (at least 12, up to 48 would be fine).

Heat BBQ to HOT. Place the strips across the grills, and by the time you have finished laying them out, start turning them over. By the time you have turned them all over, they are probably cooked. Total cooking time is less than 5 minutes. Serve medium rare, or AT THE MOST, medium, on warmed plates. My favourite companion dishes are basmati rice and maple-glazed baby carrots. Serves 1 to 2 persons per breast.
 
Them's them, Cam, and thanks. When I saw the thread I was going to put them up. I have a few others around here and if I can de-bug my computer :evil: I will post them.

For Rob, I have not yet met anybody who did not RAVE about the Teriyaki goose breasts..........including folks who shy away from game.

Doug

PS) No KFC flour yet...... :(
 
I have to agree with Todd Bartell,Just ask Gilly about all the pepperoni (honey garlic) his butcher made up last year from what the Yanks left behind,mmmmmmmmmmmm,tastey :!:
 
I have not shot many geese, but those that I have got and those that a bud has given us, my wife likes to pluck them and slow roast them whole in the oven.
 
I cut them in to stir fry size chunks, put them in boiling water for 10 minutes, then immerse them in soy sauce. Take the pieces out, put some garlic salt and pepper on them and put them in the smoker for 5 hrs.....serve with cranberry sauce. My kids eat it all and they like it.

Add a glass of white wine if you are cooking for your wife. :wink:
 
back to huntinstuff.........that sounds like a good one. Why do you put them in boiling water, does it help to tenderize them?

Doug

PS) When and where do you add the wine for the wife? :wink:
 
Amen to the wine ideas....Doug, I find that sometimes the smoker leaves the meat a bit rare inside. The boiling just cooks it a bit so I dont have to totally rely on the smoker to do the meat. Especially with birds I find the smoker will dry them up a bit too much on the outside and not the inside......and Im a lazy bugger and I dont like getting up to reload the smoker with chips :wink:
 
Cut into strips or fingers, marinade in BBQ sauce overnight and bbq until medium rare. She will like them!!!!!!!!!!
