Finally, something i actually know something about.
One year i LIVED on the geese i shot. Tried everything. Really like venison or beef better than goose.
And one of my ’employees’ ‘gifts’ me 400 greater canadas a year. That’s right, FOUR HUNDRED. I use about 100 myself.
What i would do is similar to Gursky, i.e. marinate in citrus. The acid will help soften the meat, very important. Orange, lime, lemon, grapefruit all will work. If you don’t have FRESH lime or lemon, use REAL vinegar in an italian dressing type of thing. 6-24 hours in that.
Then slice the breasts open and stuff them with a slop made of:
1) cilantro
2) onion
3) gralic
in equal amounts by weight (that’s a LOT of cilantro). You can add jalepeno to that if you like, but i’m not mexican and didn’t marry my mexican girlfriend. I cook norwegian.
Stuff that into the slit and wrap with thick bacon and cook over VERY hot coals and very close to the coals. Sear until the stuffing is just starting to warm, then cover, shut off the air and ‘bake’ for 3-8 minutes, not too long.
Even the suburban PETA women come back for seconds. Served that as part of the wild game feast at my wedding and we had equal demand for the goose vs the pheasant teriyaki…
Enjoy.
