Step by step process

Preparing the goose

1
Roast goose starts a day ahead. Rinse the goose, pat it dry and remove the excess fat from the cavity. Salt it thoroughly inside and out, rub the inside with caraway, marjoram and crushed garlic. Let it rest in the fridge overnight.
2
Core the apples and cut them into quarters, cut the onions into eighths. Fill the cavity with the apples and onions and close the opening with toothpicks or sew it shut.
3
Place the goose breast side down in a large roasting pan, add a splash of water and sprinkle the surface with the remaining caraway.

Roasting and serving

4
Roast covered at 150 °C for about 3 hours. Baste the goose with the rendered fat every half hour and turn it breast side up halfway through.
5
Uncover the pan, raise the temperature to 200 °C and roast for another 20 to 30 minutes, until the skin turns golden and crisp. Keep pouring off the rendered fat into a jar as you go.
6
Let the finished goose rest for 15 minutes, then carve it. Serve with braised red cabbage, bread dumplings and the apples from the stuffing.
TIP:
When slicing hot dumplings, use a clean thread or a sharp knife with a gentle stroke to maintain their shape and texture without crushing them.
