In part, like Peggy, I’m in it for the food when it comes to hunting. I absolutely love to cook and I love filling the freezer. There is something about creating a meal from a hunt or fishing trip that makes the food taste even more delicious. So today I’m sharing a tried and true recipe for goose fajitas, take it as a last minute idea for Valentine’s Day – Whitney
Marinate, place the sliced goose in a large Ziplock and pour the two packets of seasoning in with the goose. Mix thoroughly and set aside for at least 5 hours. I set it in the refrigerator for 24 hours, which helps tenderize the meat.
After marinating, heat a medium/large skillet on the stove on medium. Place a tablespoon of Canola oil in the pan and spread evenly. In batches, cook the small slices of goose. Making sure not to over cook the goose, the meat will get tough quickly. Add more oil as necessary.
Once the meat is cooked, remove from the heat and place aluminum foil over the goose to keep the meat warm. Keep heat on your pan and add the onions and bell peppers. Cook until soft.
In the meantime, warm the tortillas and prepare your toppings for use. Assemble, eat and enjoy while still hot.
- Two breasts of geese (defrosted or fresh), cut into strips
