Rub legs in kosher salt, thyme and garlic powder and let sit over night. Rinse off cure and dry legs. Vacuum seal with a bay leaf and a couple oz of rendered goose fat. If you don’t have fat, use unsalted butter. Submerge bags in 180 degree water and hold there for several hours until the meat is pulling from the bone. Remove from water and chill. They will keep in the fridge for several weeks. Since I have 5 packages, I’m going to freeze a few for later meals. Plan to use one bag to cook with garlic, lemon, pasta and black pepper. My 15 year old daughter says this is one of her favorite wild game recipes. Legs are not livery. If you aren’t keeping them you are throwing away the best part of a goose. Can also be done with duck legs but it takes a bunch to make a meal.

Pulled from the water and plunged into a sink of ice water to cool them. Dried them off and put into the fridge. I’ll probably open one tomorrow and whip up a quick dinner with it. Pics to follow.

Put the bag in hot water to liquify the fat. Pour off liquid and chill in fridge. Fat can be separated for cooking other meat. The jelly can be used for a pan sauce on another day. Pull meat from the bone. Smack kid’s hands when they keep stealing bites of meat. Pasta dish pics to follow.

Heat the meat in some goose fat and butter, add some garlic. Turn off heat when the garlic is cooked. Add the pasta, lemon juice and black pepper. The other pic is from the liquid that was poured off and put back into the fridge. You can add a little of the fat or jelly if the pasta is too dry.
