Does goose need to be brined?

Generally duck and geese bought in the UK have been farm-raised and have a high fat level, so do not really need to be brined as during roasting the fat under the skin renders out and bastes the meat, keeping it moist. However if you have a wild goose then these tend to be much leaner and may benefit from brining.

Can you freeze goose pastrami?

The pastrami will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze in vacuum-sealed bags for up to 6 months. To reheat after refrigerating, slice very thinly across the grain and put the meat into very hot sauté pan.

How do you make a goose tender?

Roast the goose in the preheated (425°F/220°C) oven for 30 minutes, uncovered, then turn the goose over (remove the roasting pan from the oven and use two large meat forks poked into the sides of the goose to help you turn it over). Roast it for 30 more minutes at high heat with the breast-side-up, uncovered.

How should goose be cooked?

Using a clean needle or sharply pointed knife, prick the skin of the goose all over, to allow the fat to run when it roasts. Stick the skin at an angle, so as to pierce just the skin and not the meat of the bird. Season the goose with salt and pepper, then place the rack in a deep roasting pan, and cook for one hour.
