Fried Canada Goose Breast
Of the two dark geese, the Canada (honker or cackler) and the White-fronted (speckled), the "speck" is definitely better for roasting, as it tends to be the fattest. We plucked both of the dark geese varieties, but found that the Canada goose is a bit leaner, and would often remove the breasts, with skin intact, and fried them like steaks. We stewed the legs in a manner similar to the snow-goose recipe in the preceding recipe.

Breasts of 2 lesser Canada geese
1/2 cup, olive oil
2 medium garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon, salt
1 teaspoon, coarse ground pepper
1 tablespoon, crushed dried rosemary
1/2 cup, dry red wine
  • In large, deep-sided skillet, heat olive oil and add garlic cloves.
  • When garlic is browned, remove and discard it.
  • Rub goose breasts with salt, pepper, and rosemary.
  • Drop in hot oil.
  • Cook for 5 minutes on each side, until meat is thoroughly browned, or even a bit crisp in appearance, then splash on red wine and reduce flame.
  • Cover and cook for about 15 more minutes.
  • Remove breasts to serving platter and cover with pan juices.

    Serves 4 with hearty appetites, but this recipe will handle as many as 8, accompanied by roasted potatoes or steamed rice.

    Enjoy with our 2006 Pinot Noir.
