Here something a little different to try this after your successful hunting season, braised snow goose with red wine recipe.
In large, Dutch oven or a heavy bottomed pot , melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and increase to be medium-high. Cook and stir until the onions are tender. Add goose pieces and brown each lightly. After the goose has been browned on all sides remove and set aside. Stir in flour to the onion mix. Then stir in the one cup of water, wine, brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice and salt. Add goose and raisins. Heat to boiling, reduce heat, cover and simmer over medium-low heat (do not boil hard) approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until the goose, pieces are tender and easily come away from the bone. Turn pieces once during cooking. Add more water and wine if necessary to ensure adequate cooking liquid.
When the goose is tender, remove them from the broth and keep the meat warm, set in a warm oven. Using a ladle or large metal spoon, skim fat from top of broth. If you like a thicker sauce mix cornstarch with the cold water and stir into the sauce. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sauce is thickened and translucent. Pour sauce over snow goose on platter and serve over rice.

Remember wild game requires less cooking than pen raised animals and are a much leaner meat. If you wish to remove the skin prior to cooking you can, but you may wish to add fats such as butter or bacon to keep the meat from becoming too dry. Plucking is more work, but it leaves the skin and fat intact. This again is a little different snow goose recipe but this one deserves o a try it’s worth it, especially if you have had some successful snow goose hunts this season.
