Goose baked in foil in the oven

Soft meat with citrus notes is an extravaganza of taste. It turned out to be a great idea to cook goose with tangerines and dried apricots! In my opinion, the meat of this bird perfectly harmonizes with citrus fruits. Fruits give the goose an interesting sweet and sour taste, making the taste of the dish harmonious.

Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 3 h
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    Goose fillet is best suited for cooking this dish. But you can also use meat on bones: legs and wings. So, wash the meat and free it from the skin. The skin can be left if you like more satisfying dishes. Cut the meat into portions.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    In a separate bowl, mix lemon juice, finely grated garlic, narsharab sauce and honey.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Pour the marinade over the meat, add salt and pepper to taste and mix thoroughly. Tighten the bowl with cling film and set aside in the refrigerator to marinate for one hour.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Peel the tangerines and free them from the seeds. Wash the dried apricots and cut in half. Tangerines can be disassembled into slices without cutting. And you can cut whole ones in half. So, after baking, you will get a beautiful flower.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Put the meat and tangerines on two layers of foil. Distribute the dried apricots on the meat.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Cover the top with two more layers of foil and seal the edges tightly, turning them inside. Bake the goose in a preheated 180 degree oven for an hour and a half.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    After baking, carefully cut the foil with a knife so that the hot steam can escape unhindered. The goose is ready to serve!

Separately, it is worth mentioning the marinade for goose based on Azerbaijani narsharab sauce. This idea came to me in the process of cooking goose. And I didn't lose.
The sauce turned out to be bombic: sweet-sour-spicy. Pomegranate sauce perfectly complemented the taste of the finished dish. Therefore, I sincerely advise you not to replace narsharab with anything and be sure to add it to the marinade.
Due to the long languishing of the goose in the marinade and in its own juice for a long time in foil, the meat turned out to be very soft.
This dish rightfully deserves a central place on the festive New Year's table, as a good alternative to the classic recipe with apples.
If I can get a goose for this new year, I will definitely repeat this recipe again.
Try it and you. Bon appetit!
