How to Make Whitley Goose

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Place 1 kg of onions (about 6 medium-sized) in a saucepan and cover with lightly salted water (approx. 500ml).
  3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, or until the onions are very tender.
  4. Drain the onions well in a colander and allow to cool slightly.
  5. Roughly chop the onions. In a bowl, combine the chopped onions with 150g of grated cheese (cheddar recommended).
  6. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Add salt if desired.
  7. Butter a medium-sized ovenproof dish (approx. 1.5-2 litre capacity). Pour 200ml of double cream into the dish.
  8. Gently stir the onion and cheese mixture into the cream.
  9. Top with the remaining 50g of grated cheese.
  10. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Serve hot as a side dish or a light main course.
