Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 (10-12 pound) goose
- 1 lemon, halved
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 3 sprigs of fresh rosemary
- 4 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 2 onions, quartered
- 2 carrots, roughly chopped
- 2 celery stalks, roughly chopped
- 1 cup of chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons of flour
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the goose on a rack in a roasting pan.

Squeeze the lemon halves over the goose and season generously with salt and pepper.
-
Stuff the cavity of the goose with the thyme, rosemary, garlic, onions, carrots, and celery.

Roast the goose in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
-
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C) and continue roasting for 2 hours, basting every 30 minutes with the pan juices.

In a small bowl, mix the flour with a few tablespoons of water to create a paste.
-
Remove the goose from the oven and transfer it to a carving board. Tent with foil and let rest for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, pour the pan juices into a saucepan and skim off any excess fat. Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk in the flour paste.

Cook the gravy until thickened, about 5-10 minutes.

Carve the goose and serve with the gravy.
