Raw goose breast fillet.
Packed in pairs.
Please note: This is shot game. Despite careful inspection, the meat may contain gunshot residue.
Ingredients
: 100% goose meat.
Heat a pan over medium heat (not too hot). Peel and roughly chop three garlic cloves. Add the goose breast to the pan along with the garlic, three sprigs of rosemary, and 6 sprigs of thyme. Cook the breast for 3 minutes until browned on all sides. Then add the butter. Cook for another 5 minutes, regularly spooning the butter, infused with the herbs, over the goose breast. After cooking, remove the breast from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes, wrapped in aluminum foil, on a wooden cutting board. Slice the meat and season it with the butter it was cooked in. Season with coarse sea salt and enjoy!
In recent years, the Netherlands has hosted over 3 million grazing birds during the winter, including various geese species. They lead a wonderfully free life, primarily in fields, grasslands, and nature reserves. This is reflected in the meat; it has a rich flavor and is packed with healthy fats, proteins, B vitamins, and zinc.
Geese have large appetites and a limited digestive system. Some goose species are highly territorial and chase other bird species from their habitat. If local goose populations become too large, they pose a threat to biodiversity. They reduce the habitat of other animals and impact local vegetation. In addition, in some regions, geese pose a threat to public safety, agriculture, and forestry due to their growing numbers.
Interventions are then implemented to restore the balance in local nature. This is strictly regulated based on regional wildlife management plans. In the case of geese, various methods are used. These include reducing the number of eggs per nest, hunting, and sometimes trapping. Unfortunately, the resulting “harvest” is often wasted.
