L’Oie aux olives with Noilly Prat Nage & orange zest – pair thiswith GREY GOOSE Wet Martini
Ingredients
1 goose, ready for roasting
4 apples
1 jar green olives
0.2l Noilly Prat
4 oranges
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Mugwort or marjoram
Salt
Method
Rinse the goose inside and out with cold water and salt inside. Place the cleaned apples along with some stems mugwort or marjoram inside the goose, and close the opening with cotton thread.
Marinate the olives with Noilly Prat and heat it slightly.
Slide the goose breast-side down in a roasting pan in the oven. Top with ¼ litre of boiling water and cook in a pre-heated oven at 200 degrees (convection oven 160 degrees, gas mark 4 or 5). After 1 hour turn the goose, skim off the fat, add ¼ litre of hot water and baste periodically with the roasting juices. At the end of the cooking time (depending on the size of the goose up to 3 hours) brush the skin with cold salt water, so that it gets crispy. Then take out the finished roast goose and keep warm.
Skim the fat from the sauce, pour the roasting juices through a sieve, mix the juice of the oranges with the cornstarch to bind the sauce and season to taste. Let it reduce, add the marinated olives and orange zest and simmer slightly.
Remove the cotton thread and serve the sauce separately for the goose. Depending on taste, serve with red cabbage and dumplings.
