Goose Breast Stir Fry

It’s Wednesday, Happy Hump Day…or whatever that means. For me it means that I’m now off work till Monday, I’m off to the shooting range tomorrow and my deer stalk on Saturday. Quite a busy few days but it beats sitting at a desk all day.

It’s been a weird week. Despite it being February the weather has been strangely mild. My daughter has been ill and I’m stressed out because all I want to do is make her better but I can’t and as a parent, that sucks.

Anyhoo, it’s 8pm, the kids are playing before bed but my appetite is insatiable and I need fed like 2 hours ago. Thankfully I’m kind of prepared and my goose breast from the greylag goose I plucked and breasted last week has defrosted. I check my cupboards for sauce, I spy some Soy and Hoisin sauce. I check my fridge, I see some peppers and spring onion….perfect, stir fry it is.

If you have never had goose breast before then you are in for a real treat. It is super tasty and lean but not too lean where it tastes like you’re eating old leather. It doesn’t taste like a bird, in fact, if anything it tastes like beef and when thinly sliced it tastes delicious. Give it a go and see what you think and failing that, swap the goose out for some chicken or beef and if you don’t eat meat, by all means have tofu or seitan.

ALOT of the time I am on the ball and preparation is key. I’ll happily spend an hour the previous night making a sauce from scratch but with everything going on right now I am relying on shop bought items from my local supermarket.

This recipe is a no brainer and takes 10 minutes to cook and about 5 minutes to prep. It’s a stir fry after all so here goes:
