Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Coconut milk — Use full-fat coconut milk for a rich and creamy glaze.
  • Lime juice — Freshly squeezed lime juice is recommended for the best flavor.
  • Ginger — Peel the ginger before grating to remove any tough skin.

Tips & Tricks

  • To achieve a crispy skin, increase the oven temperature to 220°C (425°F) for the last 15 minutes of roasting.
  • Serve the roasted goose with a side of roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
  • If goose is not available, you can substitute it with duck for a similar flavor profile.
  • For an extra burst of flavor, add a pinch of chili flakes to the coconut glaze.
  • Make sure to baste the goose regularly to keep it moist and flavorful.

Serving advice

Carve the roasted goose into slices and arrange them on a platter. Drizzle some of the reserved coconut glaze over the slices for added flavor. Serve with steamed rice or mashed sweet potatoes for a satisfying meal.

Presentation advice

Garnish the platter with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or mint, to add a pop of color. Place lime wedges around the platter for guests to squeeze over their servings. Serve the dish on a bed of banana leaves for an authentic Marshallese touch.
