Roast Goose with Apples
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Roast goose with apples is a wonderful festive dish for Christmas or New Year. For cooking, it's best to use Antonovka apples. Serve the goose with potatoes or buckwheat porridge. The recipe for roast goose with apples is as follows: 1. First, thoroughly wash the goose, dry it, cut off the wing tips, and trim excess fat. 2. Prepare a marinade by mixing mayonnaise, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper. 3. Rub the goose well with the prepared mixture. 4. Wrap the goose in food wrap or a plastic bag and place it in the refrigerator overnight to marinate. 5. After an hour, take the goose out of the refrigerator and generously spray it with freshly squeezed lemon juice. 6. Now prepare the stuffing: remove cores from the apples and cut them into large slices; simply rinse the prunes and dry them. 7. Fill the goose cavity with prunes and apples. Do not overpack—just as much as fits. 8. Secure the cavity with toothpicks or sew it shut with kitchen twine. Tie the legs together as well, so the goose stays compact and doesn't fall apart during roasting. 9. The goose is now ready for roasting—place it in a roasting bag, breast side down (seam side up). 10. Put the goose in an oven preheated to 200°C (on the middle rack). Roast for 30 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 180°C and continue roasting for another 2–2.5 hours (depending on the size of your goose). 11. Remove the cooked goose from the roasting bag, drain off the rendered fat, transfer the goose to a large serving plate, and serve with the roasted apples and prunes. :) The dish is now ready to be served.
