Brown the pan-ready goose legs all around in
some goose fat. Peel a full bulb of garlic and
crush the cloves. Peel a few thick carrots and
cut them into coarse pieces.
Fry a few coarsely chopped onions in some
goose fat. Make a bouquet garni of parsley
stalks, thyme, rosemary and bay leaves.
Spoon the onions, garlic cloves, carrots and
bouquet garni into a deep casserole dish. Add
the goose legs and pour in poultry stock until
everything is submerged. Season with ground
pepper, salt and a few cloves.

Visé is a border town between Liège and
Maastricht. It has a very eventful history.
During the First World War it was
completely destroyed by the Germans. Now
it is without competition the Belgian capital
of the goose. This recipe is a real regional
dish. I have found few deviant methods of
preparation for this culinary monument.
Place half-covered over medium-high heat
and simmer for an hour and a half to 2 hours
until the meat is tender.
Remove the goose legs from the broth and set
aside warm. Strain the broth. Make a roux of
plain flour and goose fat. Add hot stock and
full cream spoon by spoon to make a smooth,
thick sauce.
Serve with a mixed salad and fries or
croquettes.
