  • Roast Goose with Chestnuts (oie farcie aux marrons)

    French-inspired roast goose stuffed with peeled and blanched chestnuts, rubbed with salt and pepper, sewn up, and roasted in the oven. Served carved but reassembled whole, garnished with roasted potatoes, chestnuts, and Brussels sprouts, with reduced pan juices and ¼ liter of espagnole sauce.
