Essential Ingredients:
- Leftover Goose: About 2-3 cups of cooked goose shredded or cut into bite-sized pieces. Using leftovers is key here, as the slow cooker will tenderize the meat further, infusing it with all the curry goodness.
- Curry Powder: 2-3 tablespoons of your favorite curry powder. The blend of spices in curry powder gives this dish its signature flavor. You can use a mild or hot curry powder depending on your spice preference.
- Garlic: 4 cloves minced. Fresh garlic is essential for a flavorful base.
- Ginger: 1 tablespoon freshly grated. Ginger adds a touch of warmth and a slight tang to the curry, balancing out the richness of the goose and coconut milk.
- Onion: 1 medium onion finely chopped. Onions create a savory foundation for the curry’s flavor.
- Canned Tomatoes: 1 can 14.5 oz, diced. The tomatoes bring acidity and a slight sweetness that contrasts with the spiciness of the curry powder.
- Coconut Milk: 1 can 14 oz. This provides a creamy texture and a rich, slightly sweet flavor that balances the spices. You can use full-fat or light coconut milk, depending on your preference.
- Chicken Broth or Water: 1 cup. To help the curry simmer and ensure there’s enough liquid to infuse the goose and spices.
- Salt and Pepper: To taste. Simple seasonings to bring everything together.
Optional Add-ins:
- Vegetables: Feel free to toss in some vegetables like carrots bell peppers, or spinach. These will not only add more texture and color but also elevate the nutritional value of the dish.
- Fresh Herbs: A handful of fresh cilantro for garnish adds a burst of freshness right before serving.
Spice Adjustments:
- Chili Flakes or Fresh Chilies: If you like your curry with a bit of heat add in some chili flakes or finely chopped fresh chilies to taste.
Step 1: Prepare the Base
Sauté the Aromatics: In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil and sauté the chopped onions, garlic, and grated ginger for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant. This step helps to release the flavors of the aromatics, creating a flavorful base for your curry.
Add the Curry Powder: Stir in the curry powder and cook for another minute, allowing the spices to bloom and become even more aromatic. This is where the magic happens!
Step 2: Layer in the Slow Cooker
Transfer the sautéed onions, garlic, and ginger mixture into your slow cooker.
Add the Goose Meat: Toss your leftover goose into the slow cooker. Break it into smaller pieces if needed, so the curry flavors can soak into every bite.
Add the Rest of the Ingredients: Pour in the canned tomatoes, coconut milk, chicken broth, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir everything together to combine. The coconut milk will create a creamy, luscious sauce while the tomatoes add a bit of acidity and sweetness to balance the spices.
Step 3: Slow Cook the Curry
Step 4: Final Adjustments
Once the curry is done, give it a taste. Feel free to adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or curry powder if you want to ramp up the flavor.
Optional Add-ins: If you're adding vegetables like carrots or bell peppers, toss them in during the last 30 minutes of cooking to soften them without losing their vibrant color.
