METHOD

Preheat oven to 180oC, Fan 160oC, Gas Mark 4.

Remove giblets etc and any spare fat from inside cavity.

Use the spare fat to spread over the legs of the goose.

Weigh the goose to calculate the cooking time which is 30 minutes per 1 kg

Place the goose on a rack in a large roasting tin then prick the skin all over with a fork and rub a teaspoon of salt into the skin

Cover loosely with foil and place in the middle of the preheated oven.

Carefully pour off the goose fat occasionally. This can be kept to make roast potatoes

Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes of cook time. When the cooking time's up, lift the goose on to a carving dish, cover with foil and rest for 20 minutes before carving. This retains more of the juices for a more succulent roast

All cooking appliances vary in performance, these are guidelines only.

How to store leftover goose meat

1. Cold leftover goose can be wrapped in tinfoil or popped in an airtight container and kept in the fridge for up to four days or in the freezer for three months.
2. Leftover breast meat is best eaten cold, as it can become dry if reheated.
3. Brown meat is delicious reheated in a sauce or leftover gravy.

How to serve goose

Seasonally and traditionally, the rich meat of goose pairs well with apples. Try serving with a classic Bramley apple sauce or using cider in the gravy.
