Method

1
Preheat an oven to 190°C/gas mark 5 and bring the chicken stock to the boil in a saucepan
  • 1.5l chicken stock
2
Place the red onion, chillies and garlic in the bottom of a roasting tray and place the goose on top. Brush the goose all over with oyster sauce and season with salt and pepper, then pour the boiling stock in the tray around the bird. Transfer to the oven and cook for 1 hour 30 minutes, or until cooked
3
Meanwhile, make the sprout slaw. Place the sprouts, lime juice, sage leaves and soy sauce into a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Add chilli oil a little at a time until you're happy with the heat and check for seasoning
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 tbsp of sage leaves, finely chopped
  • chilli oil, to taste
  • 1 handful of sprouts, finely sliced, plus a few sprout leaves to garnish
  • 2 tbsp of light soy sauce
4
Once the goose is cooked, remove from the oven and set aside to rest. Strain the liquid in the bottom of the tray into a saucepan and reduce over a high heat, spooning off as much fat as possible as it boils
5
Once the sauce has reduced and thickened, return the goose to the oven for a few minutes to warm through, then serve with the sauce, sprouts and mashed potatoes on the side
