Christmas Roast Goose
Report
Step back in time this festive season with a showstopping Christmas Roast Goose. It's a wonderful alternative to the classic roast turkey, but as delicious and no doubt the " pièce de résistance " of your Christmas dinner. Beautifully moist and decadent, this spatchcock goose is a lot easier to cook than you'd think.

Ingredients
- 1 goose it weighted 7 pounds or 3.2 kg, spatchcocked
- 1 teaspoon sea salt coarse
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit, 160 fan oven).
- Arrange the goose (breast side up) in a large and deep disposable roasting tray.
- Use a sharp knife to prick its skin in several places.
- Season with salt and pepper, then mix the paprika and turmeric and dry rub the mixture over the whole bird.
- Roast for an hour, then remove the tray from the oven, and use a ladle to remove the excess fat accumulated in the tray.
- Baste the goose with the juices left in the pan, and roast for a further 45 minutes.
- Remove it from the oven, and use a sharp knife to prick it into the thickest part of the body, if the juices run clear, then it's done.
- Cover the tray loosely with kitchen foil.
- Allow it to rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.
Notes
- Pricking the skin helps massivly to render all the fat, and crisp up the skin beautifully. Make sure you use a large and deep enough roasting tray (disposable ones are a life saver) to catch all that excess fat.
- There is not need to baste the roast regularly as you would with a turkey, the fat keeps it really moist. Once all that fat is gone, the meat is surprisingly lean and juicy.
