How do I prepare geese???!
Answers: I have a couple geese and I want to know how to prepare them for cooking.
1 wild goose, well cleaned & picked (do not skin)
2 1/2 qts. cornbread crumbs
1 lg. onion, chopped fine
2 Jonathan apples, diced
Salt & pepper
Sage
Garlic
Goose giblets
Boil giblets until tender, remove skin, and chop fine. Combine with cornbread crumbs, onions and apple. Mix well and add salt and pepper, sage, garlic and other seasonings to taste. Moisten and stuff goose. Place goose in roasting pan and spread with about 2 tablespoons of butter, and then sprinkle with a little flour. Roast in 350 degree oven until done, which will take about 15 to 20 minutes per pound. Baste often.
5-6 lb. goose
1 c. sauerkraut, cooked
1 apple, cored, peeled & quartered
1/4 c. butter, melted
1/2 c. dry red wine
In saucepan heat kraut and apple. Put 1/4 cup wine in roasting pan and place in oven to heat. Stuff goose with kraut and apple. Rub goose with butter, salt and pepper. Place in heated roasting pan.
Place goose in preheated 500 degree oven and baste every 7 minutes with remainder of butter and wine.
Roast 30 minutes for rare or 35 minutes for medium rare bird.
Place goose on platter and slice breast thinly. Serve with pan juices ladled over goose.
If they are young, you could roast them. If they are old, you could make a confit; just use the geese instead of duck. From there, you could proceed to cook cassoulet.
first, tell them.....they will really appreciate knowing that they are going to be eaten....
maybe give them some time for therapy, they might take the news pretty hard, and last of all,
tell them to eat a LOT, so they will be nice and fat!!! ;)
Hehehe, shotgun...
No but you can pretty much treat it like a turkey, it is similar enough.

Duck or Geese with Orange sauce. Delicious.
ewww
Geese and Duck come out real nice on a hot cast iron skillet. Leave the skin on, and cut filets out of it, season as you like, and heat up a few tbls of olive oil, and sear them. Once they brown, you could finish them off in the oven if they are not cooked all the way through.
