Goose

Gressingham Geese are grown free range on farms in East Anglia, from early summer until autumn, where they graze the grass as well as eat a mix of wheat and soya with vitamins and minerals. The birds are looked after by experienced farmers who are trained to care for these big but beautiful birds.

Preparation & Usage

  1. After thoroughly defrosting the goose in the refrigerator preheat your oven to 180ºC, Fan 160ºc, Gas Mark 4.
  2. Remove all the packaging.
  3. Take the giblets out of the body cavity (they're useful for making stock).
  4. Weigh the goose without the giblets. It's important to do this - don't just use the weight on the bag as this includes the giblets.
  5. Place on a rack in a large roasting tin then prick the skin all over with a fork and rub a teaspoon of salt into the skin.
  6. Cover loosely with foil and place in the middle of the preheated oven.
  7. Roast the goose for 30 minutes per 1kg.
  8. Carefully pour off the goose fat occasionally. This can be kept to make crispy roast potatoes.
  9. Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes cook time then remove the goose from the oven, check the juices run clear when pierced with a fork or skewer. If the juices do not run clear return to over for a further 15 minutes and check juices again.
  10. When the goose is cooked remove from the oven and rest for 20 minutes before carving.
