Braised Goose
1 large goose
1/2 tsp. sage
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 C dry white wine
5 C beef stock
salt and pepper to taste
Serves 6-8
Rinse and dry goose inside and out. Rub the cavity with salt and pepper. Put the bird in a roasting pan and in the oven so the meat is about 4 inches from the broiler. Brown on all sides, turning frequently - total broiling time will be about 15 to 20 minutes.
Add sage, garlic, wine and stock or bouillon to the pan. Bring the liquid to a simmer cover and place in a 350° F. oven for 2 1/2 hours. Turn the goose twice during cooking. Goose is done when the leg moves easily at the joint.
