A Good Goose Recipe

[Pheasant Hollow Farm]

Thanks for the good recipe. Haven't cooked anything up yet but will soon. Speaking of recipes has anyone ever had a pheasant and rice casserole? We made that last night and it was great. If anyone wants the recipe I'll put it up. I would put it up now but I don't have it here with me now.

If and when you get the chance, post it..

I know I will use it. I have two many birds as it is now.. I either smoke mine, make into soups, or do it into a roasted bird or cut them up, fried, baked, BBQ, rolled breasts stuffed, oh the so many ways.

Oh, I have also done the breast meat just like a Peppered Venison Steak.

\ i cooked one in wine one time in a cooking bag @low temp 350..i forget how long but basically til tender 3-5 hrs depending on how big

350* is not considered a low temp. I think your time frame of 3-5 hrs is off.

  In fairness to ode, she did say she didn't remember (probably because only a portion of the wine went into the bag [cooking bag]).  Also, she probably cooked a farm goose, or store goose.  Kind of like using a pork recipe for Venison.

Thanks for posting Missourihunter, but there is one thing that doesn't quite sound convincing or at least obtainable in my area stores for the last part of the cooking sequence..

You can also try the Goose Breasts with Shake and Bake, I prefer the BBQ.
Just make sure you cut the breasts into bite size pieces, and reduce the cooking time and temp.

Before I quite drinking (so much), #5 used to refer to me, as that after 2 qts,she can't spell though.

I do geese, especially Canadians as I do turkey, especially wild ones:

Clean and stuff however you want to, rub the brest with salt and pepper.

Take a paper bag big enough to hold the bird and cover the inside with corn oil, about half a cup will do a big bag, coat the whole inside, then drain any extra off that doesnt soak in. The idea is to 'moisture proof' the bag.

Slide the bird in the bag, close the top and tuck it in around the bird so it doesnt come open. Place in a roast pan,

Put in oven around 375 degrees. Check in a couple hours. Cooking in the bag is faster then in just a roaster, keeps the meat moist. If the bird doesnt have much fat and looks dry stick an orange or tomato in the bag. 

It'll be very moist and tender. Its easy to overcook and make the meat fall off the bones. DONT scald yourself when you open the bag! There'll be steam . Enjoy.

Works on ducks too. If theres much fat put it on something to raise it up out of the grease.

  its almost always farm or store raised here unfortunately most of our game is smallish and the hunters in our family go up north but they dont share much...oh and wilder i only drink tea  in excess so i guess i cant use that as an excuse  thanks though
