Roast Goose Stuffed with Whole Apples

A whole roast goose filled with small cored apples and basted with its butter-rich pan juices.

Method

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Heat oven to 180 °C. Remove any giblets from the 4 kg dressed goose, pat it dry and season with salt and pepper. Rub with vinegar. Core the small apples and set them loosely in the cavity without tightly packing.

  2. Step 2

    Place the bird breast up on a rack in a large roasting pan, dust lightly with flour, pour hot water into the pan and add the butter. Roast, basting with the pan liquid and rendered fat every 30–40 minutes; remove excess fat from the pan if needed.

  3. Step 3

    After roughly 2½–3 hours, measure the thickest meat away from bone and the centre of the apple stuffing separately. Continue cooking until the whole goose reaches 82 °C and the apples in the cavity reach 74 °C.

  4. Step 4

    Rest the goose about 20 minutes, then carve with clean tools. Serve the cooked whole apples beside the meat and spoon on a little strained pan juice.
