Flay’s wild Christmas goose chase
This canada goose outlet nyc Christmas, our friend, chef Bobby Flay, may have bitten off more than he can chew:
What to cook for Christmas dinner has always canada goose coats been a quandary for me. It’s a handful of canadian goose jacket weeks after the most perfect Canada Goose Online culinary holiday we celebrate, Thanksgiving.
Unlike Thanksgiving, my Christmas menu seems canada goose to change every buy canada goose jacket cheap year or so. There’s my Dad’s favorite, rack canada goose coats on sale of lamb a perfectly good choice, but my Mom thinks lamb is too gamey. Sorry, Dad!
One of my favorites is a prime rib of beef. Season Canada Goose Coats On Sale it with lots of Canada Goose sale salt and pepper, some fresh cloves of garlic, https://www.canadagoose-coats.ca kick it into canada goose uk shop the oven, and canada goose factory sale a few hours later, dinner is served.
But this year I had an epiphany. I’m going “old school”! I’m going to fire up a Christmas tradition that I’ve always passed over. I’m taking inspiration Canada Goose Parka from Charles Dickens.
I’m roasting a Christmas Goose!
When the idea hit me, it sounded so festive, so retro in the hippest way, so. well, Christmassy.
Full disclosure: Somehow in my 34 years as a canada goose uk black friday professional cook, I have never attempted it. But how hard could it be?
It was time for a test drive. My first attempt was awful. buy canada goose jacket I cheap canada goose uk pricked the skin with a fork, seasoned the goose well with salt and pepper, rubbed it with lemon and garlic, and let it roast on med/high heat in the oven. The result was a glorious amount of rendered goose fat in the bottom of the pan (great for saut or frying potatoes, by the way), but my goose was, as previously advertised, fatty and tough. It was an epic fail!
So I turned to my uk canada goose mentor, pioneering chef Jonathan Waxman, for his secret: “You just have to get a good goose, that’s it!”
The perfect roast goose became my obsession. I consulted with Martha, Gordon, Wolfgang and Emeril (on the Internet, of course) to see if their recipes could help. Still my results were, let’s just say, not great.
Not one for giving up, I called for one last goose. I preheated the oven to perfect goose canada goose store roasting temperature (375 degrees), perforated the skin with the utmost precision, seasoned the bird with a slew of flavorful aromatics, and canada goose black friday sale rested it on a canada goose uk outlet roasting rack ready for action.
A couple of hours later, the bird was on the table. I began to carve uk canada goose outlet it. The aroma was amazing! I felt a Tom Brady like touchdown celebration was a moment away.
I called over my most trusted and honest Canada Goose Outlet confidantes to taste and exclaim a goose victory. Each took a canada goose clearance sale forkful of the luscious meat and golden skin and with the Canada Goose Jackets timing Canada Goose online of Olympic synchronized swimmers, they simultaneously walked away with cheap Canada Goose their heads held low and their canada goose clearance jaws working harder than the pistons in a car.
