How to Make Goose Roast Port Glazed Goose With Tawny Port Gravy

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Combine 1/2 cup chopped onions, 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper in a mixing bowl.
  3. Remove the neck and giblets from the goose and set aside.
  4. Remove any excess fat from the cavity opening of the goose.
  5. Prick the fatty areas of the goose skin with a fork, avoiding the breast.
  6. Stuff the goose cavity with the vegetable mixture.
  7. Season the outside of the goose with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon.
  8. Place the goose in a large roasting pan and roast uncovered for 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until the drumsticks and thighs are easily removed.
  9. While the goose roasts, prepare the port wine reduction: Combine 1/2 cup chopped onions, 1/2 cup chopped carrots, 2 bay leaves, and 1 cup tawny port wine in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil.
  10. Reduce heat and simmer until the mixture thickens to about 1/2 cup (approximately 30 minutes).
  11. Strain the reduction through a fine-mesh sieve and let cool.
  12. Brush the goose with the port wine reduction and return to the oven for 5 minutes to caramelize.
  13. Remove from the oven and let rest for 20 minutes before carving.
  14. Prepare the gravy: In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the giblets and neck and brown for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
  15. Add 1/2 cup chopped onions, 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1/2 cup chopped carrots, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 2 bay leaves, and 1 teaspoon fresh thyme. Cook, stirring often, for 3-4 minutes.
  16. Stir in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  17. Gradually whisk in 1 cup tawny port wine, bring to a boil, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  18. Add 2 cups of water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 1 hour.
  19. Remove from heat and strain into a clean container. Keep warm until ready to serve.
  20. Serve the goose with the tawny port gravy.
