Hunters who have participated in trophy goose hunting tours on the Putorana Plateau can share with novice hunters various secrets and life hacks not only on how to hunt game animals but also on cooking techniques. And there are a huge number of cooking techniques, even for wild geese alone. In our article, we'll share some of them.
What are game dishes?
If you delve into history, you'll notice that our distant ancestors prepared roast goose. This exquisite dish was present at every feast in Ancient Rus'. The golden-brown, crispy crust covering the bird instantly whets the appetite. The dish itself has a unique flavor and numerous beneficial properties, including:
Goose meat is beneficial for people suffering from gallstones. It can be consumed both for preventative purposes and to promote proper bile production.
Goose meat helps cleanse our body of various toxins.
· For heart and any other conditions, poultry helps strengthen the walls of blood vessels.
· Wild goose does not contain harmful chemical compounds.
· And for women, game can have a beneficial effect on the reproductive system.
However, these days, shooting a large number of wild geese isn't something you often do, even with new equipment. Preparing the game properly and slowly is essential.
How is the carcass prepared?
1. Initially, a wild goose, like any other bird, must be plucked and gutted.
2. If you caught an adult goose, you'll need to soak the carcass in the marinade solution for a little longer. This will make the goose juicier and, therefore, tastier.
Marinades for game:
The first option looks like this:
· The bird should be marinated using mustard and honey, in a ratio of 1 to 2.
· Mix both ingredients and then coat the goose meat with a thick layer.
· Leave to marinate until morning.
Another method of marinating is as follows:
· Cut the lemon into slices and pour boiling water over it.
· The meat is rubbed with spices and then covered with a bottle of dry white wine.
· Place lemon around the carcass and cover with plastic.
· Put in the refrigerator for 1 day.
When roasting a goose, to prevent the meat from drying out, boil a pot of water and dip each piece of the bird in the boiling water, one at a time, for 1 minute. Just be sure to drain any excess water before placing the bird in the oven.
Recipe for goose stewed in white wine
To stew game you need the following ingredients:
1. Wild goose – 1 carcass.
2. Half a glass of dry white wine and the same amount of broth.
3. Butter – 200 g.
4. Salt.
We season the prepared carcass (washed and gutted) with salt and pepper, both inside and out. Then, place the game in a roasting pan or deep baking tray. Then, place it in a preheated oven.
To ensure the meat remains juicy, open the oven periodically and baste the goose with the juices. When the crust is golden brown, drain off some of the fat and add white wine. Then return the bird to the oven and roast until done. Serve with herbs and vegetables, basting the meat with the juices.
Conclusion
Wild goose can be prepared in a variety of ways, and when prepared correctly, it creates a unique and exquisite dish. Guests can enjoy hunting in the protected areas of Siberia. In their free time, they can sit with a fishing rod over a fishing hole and fish for various predators, such as grayling, perch, and pike.
