Goose Breast With Spiced Apples And Dried Cherries

If you can't find dried cherries in your market, substitute any dried berries (most stores carry "Craisins" -- a sweetened cranberry) or even raisins. This preparation also works wonderfully with pork, upland game or antlered game.

Courses: Main Course
Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

2   Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored,
  And sliced into thin wedges
1 tablespoon 15mlBrown sugar
1 tablespoon 15mlFresh lemon juice
2/3 cup 41g / 1.4ozDried cherries
1/4 teaspoon 1.3mlCinnamon
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlGround coriander
1   Cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons 30mlButter - chilled
2   Skinless goose breast half fillets - - (to 4)
  Salt - to taste
  Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
2 tablespoons 30mlOlive oil

Recipe Instructions

Place the apples into a medium saucepan with 3/4 cup water, brown sugar and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer until apples are just tender, about 10 minutes. Add cherries and simmer another 5 minutes.

Drain liquid and stir in cinnamon, coriander, cayenne pepper and butter. Keep warm, but just warm. If sauce becomes too cool and congeals, heat over very low heat while stirring until warm, but not hot.

Slice goose breasts widthwise in half so that the thickness is roughly one-half of pre-sliced thickness. Season goose breasts with salt and pepper.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown breasts evenly on both sides until medium-rare. Spoon apple and cherry mixture onto each plate and top with duck breasts.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
