A hunter neighbor gave us some dressed-out goose breasts. HH wants to smoke them, but we have more than enough for one meal.

What's some other good ways to cook this?
 
braise over a mirepoix of aromatic vegetables (carrot, celery, onion sauted with bacon lardon) and red wine, seasoned with thyme and garlic; serve over a wild rice pilaf with a green vegetable. very delicious. cook time a couple hours.
 
wow, Robo - sounds fantastic. I will use your method and report back. It will have to wait for a weekend when I have the time, so be patient.

p.s. I asked said neighbor to save the skin next time he goes hunting so I can render out the fat and use it to fry potatoes.
 
if it's a wild goose, you won't get much fat. if it's domestic, you will and that's best roasted (pricking the skin to release the fat and "basting" with a pour of Vodka. Then roast some root veggies in the goose fat drippings...parsnips, sweet potatoes, red onions, oh so good!
