Recipe information

For a 9 1/2-to-11-pound roaster goose serving 8 to 10. Use essentially the same system as for duck (see page 56), but give it a trussing by running a skewer through the carcass at the shoulder to secure the wings in place, and another through the hips to secure the legs, then tie the drumstick ends together against the tailpiece. To aid in fat removal prick the skin with a sharp skewer around the lower breast and thighs. Count on about 1 hour for the first breast-up steaming, 1 1/2 to 2 hours for the oven braising, and 30 to 40 minutes for the final oven browning. Make the braising liquid as for the duck (see page 56), but with 2 1/2 cups of wine or chicken stock. You may wish to thicken it lightly at the end by simmering it for a few minutes with 1 1/2 tablespoons of cornstarch blended with 1/2 cup of dry port wine.
