Roast goose Mecklenburg style

Spread the love

Ingredients for 6 servings:

  • 1 m.-sized goose, ready to cook
  • salt and pepper
  • mugwort
  • 300 g prunes, soaked, pitted
  • 300 g apple
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 3 tbsp black bread, grated
  • 50 g bacon, diced
  • cornstarch
  • Honey, liquid
  • Beer

Instructions

Working time approx. 35 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 3 hours; Total time approx. 3 hours 35 minutes

Rub the roasting-ready goose inside and out with salt, pepper, and mugwort. Mix the prunes, apples, sugar, bread, and bacon and stuff the goose, then sew it up. Pour a little water into the roasting pan, place the goose in the roasting pan, and roast in the oven, basting occasionally with the roasting juices and turning the goose. When the goose is almost cooked, mix honey with beer and brush the goose with it. Finish roasting. Remove from the pan, make the sauce from the juices as usual, divide the goose, and arrange the stuffing around the goose. Serve with dumplings and red cabbage, seasoned with sweet spices. Addendum: For one kg of goose, allow approximately 1 hour of roasting time at approximately 180°C (top/bottom heat) – every oven is different, so these instructions are only guidelines.
