Instructions: Rinse and dry goose inside and out. Rub the cavity with salt and pepper. Put the bird in a roasting pan and in the oven so the meat is about 4 inches from the broiler. Brown on all sides, turning frequently - total broiling time will be about 15 to 20 minutes.

Add sage, garlic, wine and stock or boullion to the pan. Bring the liquid to a simmer, cover and place in a 350 degree oven for 2 1/2 hours. Turn the goose twice during cooking. Goose is done when the leg moves easily at the joint.

This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.
