Here are a few recipes that he gave us, both of which are delicious: <br /><br />Canada Goose Stew (Slow Cooker)<br /><br />1 large onion chopped<br />Vegetable oil<br />2 Goose breasts, cut in 2” chunks<br />2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce<br />1 or 2 cloves Garlic chopped<br />4 cups water, 1 envelope gravy mix<br />A good amount of Potatoes, Carrots, Turnip<br /><br />Sauté onion and garlic in vegetable oil for a few minutes on medium heat. Add goose pieces, Worcestershire sauce and continue to sauté for 10 minutes. <br />Transfer to slow cooker. Mix together the water and gravy mix and pour over goose. Add <br />vegetables, cover and cook on high until vegetables are soft and meat is tender (4-6 hours).<br /><br />About a half hour before serving, mix together 2 Tbsp. cornstarch with a little water to remove lumps and add to slow cooker. Turn to high and cook until broth thickens. If not thick enough in 15 minutes, add a little more cornstarch mixture.<br /><br />Pulled Goose BBQ (Slow Cooker)<br /><br />Worchester sauce<br />Head of garlic<br />Onion<br />Goose Breasts, Orange Juice<br />1 cup Diana Gourmet Maple BBQ Sauce (or any BBQ sauce)<br /><br />Cut the goose breasts into smaller pieces. Put the goose breasts in a crock pot or slow cooker and add head of garlic, Worchester sauce, onion and cover with orange juice. Let cook in crock pot (8 hours) or slow cooker on high heat (5-6 hours) until the meat pulls apart. Remove the mat from the slow cooker or crock pot. Pull the meat apart with 2 forks and put into bowl. Add barbeque sauce and stir together. Place in microwave steamer and heat for 2-3 minutes or in a pot with medium heat stirring continuously until hot. (I just put it right back in the slowcooker to heat up). Can be served in a bun or separately.Marcelle Thibodeaunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375475720350356941.post-47714202916401375482015-09-06T14:05:42.561-04:002015-09-06T14:05:42.561-04:00Just hearing about all your produce makes me smile...Just hearing about all your produce makes me smile! I love that you have so much fruit. I'm still waiting for our ONE watermelon to fully ripen. I'd be in heaven if I had a lemon tree! It's really not warm enough here to grow good citrus. But we are in apple country. Maybe I should plant an apple tree :) rivulethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11352395562904461909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375475720350356941.post-71366546793116592732015-09-06T14:04:12.170-04:002015-09-06T14:04:12.170-04:00Oh I wish you could to!

No one here eats goose except for a few hunters and most hunters don't bother because wild goose is so tough and gamey (if you don't cook it right). rivulethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11352395562904461909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375475720350356941.post-80048233688047464782015-09-06T14:02:12.555-04:002015-09-06T14:02:12.555-04:00Thank-you and exactly.

You know how every thing "tastes like chicken?" Well wild goose tastes like steak. It's SO good! I think, and I'm only guessing from two experiences that you need to remove most of the silver skin to get out the gamey after taste and chewyness. I didn't do that last time but did this time. So, so, so good! Not chewy or gamey.<br /><br />6 peas? awe man, that's sad :(<br />I feel bad because I'm around 250 tomatoes so far this year from my four plants and my neighbors who planted six plants got TWO tomatoes.rivulethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11352395562904461909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375475720350356941.post-87341482503313769392015-09-06T10:33:27.764-04:002015-09-06T10:33:27.764-04:00Your dinner looks amazing!

I used garden ingredients in my dinner last night as well, but mine wasn't "all garden", unfortunately. ;-) I went to a potluck & brought a fruit salad (watermelon & cantaloupe from the garden), & made a pasta salad with veggies & parmesan (tomatoes & peppers from the garden + lemon juice from our lemons). I turned the very small amount of leftover fruit salad into smoothies this morning. Yum!!!<br /><br />Your plating of your meal is great as well - love the pic!

Those green beans & tomatoes look like a picture in a magazine!!! I have enough snow peas from my 2nd planing in the freezer right now for MAYBE 1 serving....as long as whoever eats it isn't very hungry....I think there are 6 peas :( Maybe I'll make a stir-fry & add them.....there you go - you could make a goose stir-fry next :)ibesuenoreply@blogger.com
