Step 2

Grind black pepper and star anise in a mortar and pestle or a coffee grinder.

Step 3

Grate the ginger root on a fine grater.

Step 4

Mix the ground spices, salt, ginger, garlic pressed through a garlic press, and orange zest until a smooth paste forms. If needed, add a little vegetable oil.

Step 5

Rub the goose with a spiced paste, both inside and out.

Step 6

Wrap the goose in plastic wrap and refrigerate to marinate for 8 hours.

Remove the foil from the roasting pan, brush the goose with orange juice, and continue roasting for another hour, basting it occasionally with the juice or rendered fat from the pan.
