Instructions
Step 1
Select a goose carcass. The ideal weight for preparing a juicy and appetizing dish is 3-4 kg. Take a close look at the goose. Feel the sides to see how meaty it is. Remember: meat can be considered fresh if it moves freely around the throat when touched by hands. Make sure the skin is clean and the breast is fleshy.
Step 2
Store the goose before cooking at a temperature no higher than +2 degrees, but no longer than 12 hours. If you want to keep the bird for about 2 months, freeze it in the refrigerator at -10 degrees.
Step 3
Prepare a goose stuffed with sauerkraut. Wash the bird and pat dry using paper towels. Rub the goose with salt, pepper and spices to taste. Pierce it in several places with a sharp knife. Stuff with sauerkraut.
Step 4
Prepare your apples. Wash them. Cut into 4 pieces, removing the core. Place them inside the goose. Sew up the carcass.
Step 5
Fry the goose on all sides in a suitable bowl. After that, place it in an oven preheated to 180-200 degrees.
Step 6
After 20-25 minutes, pour the juice accumulated in the container in which it is being cooked, pour over the goose. Thus, the bird will be soft, juicy and will not dry out.
Step 7
After 40-60 minutes, turn off the oven. Take your time to get the goose. If you want it to be baked with a golden crust, then 5-10 minutes before the dish is ready, add the heat to 220-230 degrees. Then remove the finished goose from the oven, cut and remove the threads.
Step 8
Serve the finished goose on an open flat dish. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh herbs.
Step 9
A special sauce is perfect for a baked goose. To prepare it, heat lemon juice, sugar and chopped dill over low heat. Remember to stir this mixture constantly. After 5-7 minutes, the sauce is ready. Transfer it to a small bowl (it should turn out to be quite thick) or serve in portions, carefully laying out on the edge of the plate for each guest. Bon Appetit!
