Ingredients 1 ingredient

  1. 1 cup of cold water

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Cut all the fat from the goose into small pieces and cook in a skillet with 1 cup of cold water.
  2. Let cook uncovered until the water has evaporated;
  3. then fry until brown.
  4. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot.
