Tasty Facts

Poultry broths are often prescribed for dietary nutrition, but goose is not the case. Goose is a very oily bird, so for a normal taste it is important to remove all fat before cooking, otherwise it will have to be removed with a ladle after. The goose broth is so fatty that it can be served simply with bread or croutons – a hearty lunch is provided.

If the broth is supposed to be soup or jelly, use not only fatty parts, but also fleshy ones to cook the broth.

If you have a whole goose carcass, then use the bones of the body, wings and neck to cook the broth, and use the legs and breast, along with fat, for frying, stewing or baking.

In order to give the broth a golden color, before cooking, put the prepared vegetables in a dry frying pan and cook them until black for 3-4 minutes.

If you cook a goose over high heat, the broth will not turn out to be saturated, and the water will evaporate faster than the meat will cook. The readiness of the goose can be checked by breaking the bone at the joint: if the limb immediately separated, then the broth is ready.

The broth will be richer if you put the meat in cold water and it is desirable that in the past it belonged to an old or adult animal.

If you have a bunch of dill or parsley in the refrigerator, put the stems in the broth 10 minutes before the end of cooking – this will add saturation to the broth, and it is better to save the leaves for decorating dishes.
