Goose Rouladen Lede

Rouladen is a traditional German dish made with beef rounds cut thin to form sheets of meat. The meat is stuffed with mustard, onions, bacon and dill pickles, then rolled into roulades. In some regions of Germany, diced boiled eggs can also be added. Each piece of meat is rolled together with the ingredients and browned in a pan. The rouladhttps://www.americanhunter.org/content/recipe-venison-rouladen/en is then slowly braised to make them tender and flavorful. Gravy is made from cooking liquids and fond.

Goose breasts are dark, dense meat that braises like beef and makes outstanding rouladen. This recipe works with any waterfowl, and the breasts can be tenderized and pounded with a meat mallet or run through a tenderizer or cutlet machine. If you have been looking for a great way to use big honkers or snow goose breasts, this recipe will make you covet the birds harvested on a waterfowl adventure.

Directions

  1. Place each goose breast on a cutting board covered with plastic wrap. Fold the wrap in half to cover the breast. Pound the breast to ¼-inches thick with a meat mallet.
  2. Spread the mustard on half of the breast. Add diced onion and bacon to cover the entire breast. Place a half-pickle in the middle of the breast and roll it tight. Use a toothpick to weave through the meat to hold it in a roulade.
