Well, now, if you’re lookin’ to cook up a goose, I reckon using a crock pot is about the easiest way to do it. You don’t need no fancy tricks, just slow cook that bird ‘til it’s tender and juicy, so you can just about cut it with a spoon. I done tried it a few times, and lemme tell ya, it’s mighty tasty!
First off, if you got a wild goose, don’t you be expectin’ it to be all tender like them store-bought ones. Wild goose meat is a bit tougher, but if you cook it slow like, you’ll end up with somethin’ that’ll make your mouth water, for sure.
Now, let me tell ya how to do it. You’ll need to start with the goose breasts. Get ‘em nice and clean, rinse ‘em off good, and pat ‘em dry with a paper towel. That way, they ain’t too wet when you season ‘em. I like to season the meat on all sides with a bit of salt, pepper, and whatever else you got in the cupboard. Some folks like to throw in a little garlic powder or onion powder, but I say just do what makes ya happy. A good seasoning rub can go a long way, so don’t be shy with it!
Now, before you throw that meat in the crock pot, you might wanna do a little something extra. Some folks like to sear the meat in a hot skillet for a minute on each side just to lock in some of them juices, but if you ain’t got time for that, don’t worry none. Just throw ‘er right in there. And you can add some onions, carrots, or even an apple if you want. That’ll give it a nice, sweet flavor. If you got any leftover herbs from the garden, toss ‘em in too. You can’t go wrong with some thyme or rosemary, I say.
Set your crock pot to the lowest setting, and let it cook real slow for about 8 to 9 hours. Don’t be in no rush now, just let it work its magic. It’s best if you start it in the mornin’, around 9 AM or so, so by dinner time, you got yourself some melt-in-your-mouth goose. You don’t need to add much liquid, just a bit of water or broth. That’s all it takes for the meat to soak up all them good flavors.
After a few hours, take a little peek, and if you want, you can baste the goose with some of the juices in the pot. That’ll keep it nice and moist. If you’re feelin’ fancy, you can even add a few orange slices or a squirt of orange juice for a sweet kick. I been known to do that when I want a little something special, ya know?
Now, when it’s done, that meat should be so tender you can shred it with a fork. You can serve it up with mashed potatoes, rice, or even some good ol’ fashioned corn on the side. Some folks like to add a little gravy, but I say just let the meat speak for itself. The slow cookin’ does all the work, and all you gotta do is enjoy the fruits of your labor.
And there you have it. A nice, easy goose recipe that don’t take much fussin’ and sure tastes mighty good. If you got more goose than you know what to do with, this here’s a great way to feed a whole bunch of folks. Just make sure you got plenty of sides to go with it, ‘cause once folks start eatin’, they won’t stop ‘til it’s all gone!
So next time you get your hands on a goose, don’t go frettin’ over how to cook it. Just toss it in the crock pot and let it do its thing. It’ll be so tender and flavorful, you’ll be askin’ for seconds before you know it!
