Black Pepper And Herb Goose Breast

Many game chefs follow the standard "stuff the bird with apples, oranges, lawn clippings, etc. and roast in a 350 degree ovenU" routine. I have not had great luck with the roasting of the whole bird. Yes, it looks pretty cool on a platter, but it doesn't really taste that good. Here's the problem; by the time the inside of the breast is a delicious medium-rare, the outer part of the breast is cooked to medium-well and doesn't taste good. The answerUmake the meat thinner.

Pat butterflied goose breasts dry with paper towels. Combine next 7 ingredients and coat breasts evenly with the mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 6 to 12 hours.

Heat additional tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add goose breasts and cook on both sides until just medium-rare. Remove goose breasts and cover with foil.

While pan is still over medium-high heat, quickly add beef broth to pan and stir with a spoon to loosen bits. Reduce liquid by one-half. Add cream and cook until liquid starts to thicken.

Slice goose breasts thinly and arrange on plate. Drizzle sauce over.

This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
