Ideas please? Goose stew and cold goose don't sound too appealing!

I was going to make a Goose and port pie.

That sounds good. Tell me more!

we never have any left, except enough for my dad to make himself a sarnie

Some ready made shortcrust pastry, bake it blind (with some dried beans in the base) for 20 mins or so, chop some veg and steam for 10 mins, some gravy with a dash of port, put the left over (cooked) goose inside, put the top on, a quick egg wash and into the oven for 20 mins. I'm not 100 certain of the timings though.

I may put some herbs in there, a little thyme maybe.

Cassoulet - a sort of stew with beans, sausage and goose or duck. Makes the left over goose go a long way and is delicious.

Cold goose is georgous with jacket potatoes, and a lovely salad.

How about wraps with salad/mayo or whatever you fancy/have left over??

Have you done goose before? How many are you serving? We are doing goose for just us 4, I expect very little leftovers. It looks big but an awful lot of fat emerges.

Cassoulet is so yummy! Or a Chinesey duck type salad with rice noodles etc? Think Nigella has a recipe online for something similar

get some pancakes and hoi sin sauce serve with finely cut spring onions and cucumber

How big is your goose, Noopy? How many are you feeding? Agree with previous poster that you don't get many leftovers!!

Errm not sure how heavy the goose is, we need to weigh it later! I asked for one big enough for 4 plus left overs. Some nice ideas here, the port pie and the cassoulet are my favoured ones at the mo.

We don't often have enough for leftovers tbh even with a massive one there is not lots of meat on it

We're going to have lots of left overs as our bloody guest has changed the day that he's coming!

Well, we ended up with a fair amount of left overs. We ended up going for cassoulet. And very good it was too!
