is best for roasting a goose suitable antonovka.This sort of hard, very tolerant of long anguish in the oven, do not lose the form and the most favorable effect on goose meat.In fact, Apple then replaces the lemon, but Apple can put a lot more and they will give your dish a unique flavor.Prepare a little more apples than it seems sufficient.Apples are in the process of cleaning lose volume, and simply may not be enough.Wash apples, cut into 4 pieces, remove core and remove the peel.Part of apples go inside part can be put around the goose on a baking sheet.Goose stuffed with apples, sew inside thread.Why white?White does not shed, and the paint will not get into the food.The thread must be durable, made from natural fibers and thick enough to sew, you can not often - it will be easier to pull out.

So, stuffed goose and waiting when it will have to prepare.Do not forget to tie his legs, if they stick, tie and secure all protruding parts as possible reliable, so you save yourself from unnecessary operations and burning that is bound to go if fatty goose feet will touch the walls of the oven.

very important choice of dishes in which everything will be ready.Practice shows that even baking with borders of 5 cm for the goose may be too small.In any case, the height of the flanges must be at least 5 centimeters, otherwise you risk to fill the whole oven fat, which means to cool, to wash, to shift into a new pot, heat the oven - a waste of time, at least an hour.It is better to choose the size of the dishes.The ideal in this case can be considered as baking dish volume of 5 liters, with high sides and thick walls.That's pretty specific dishes, not everyone has.The second option - a large ceramic piece of plate of the same volume.It is more specific and is more expensive, but in the ceramic and preparing better.By the baking sheet do not forget to prepare a wooden or plastic spatula and fork.The plug must be the size of the same blade and have a 3-4 wave.They will be convenient to turn the goose on a baking sheet.

Spices.When selecting spices for your own taste goose refer and do not forget about the guests.Freshly ground black pepper is best, herbs can be dried, and the rest - only to taste.If there is no certainty, that it will be enough of pepper and herbs (dill even be enough).Alternatively, you can make a mixture of ¾ peppers with herbs and ¼ extra spice.Be careful with juniper berries and cloves - you can add a pair of stuff - 2 hours they will give the desired flavor note.Badia can add a little more.Cumin crush or grind in fines.

Oven goose start back down after 20 minutes turn it on the breast and turn down the flame.Water the occasional drips fat and carcass upside down every half hour or more.Do not forget the apples intended for the goose plate on all sides.Put them for 40 minutes until tender.Instead, you can put apples and potatoes.Goose fat little watering more often than you flip it.When everything is cooked, remove the thread from the goose, and the fat drain off into a separate jar, it still is useful.

There is another way to roasting birds - on the bottle.In short, the goose innards removed and the sternum, placed inside the bottle, around which have apples, berries and herbs.All sewn up and put bake.

Option roasting goose with wormwood will not describe, because, firstly, the specific taste, and secondly, tarragon requires a much more delicate handling than conventional aromatic herbs.But quince filling for goose will be a win-win.To do this, take 500 grams of peeled and seeds quince fruit, finely chop and mix with a tablespoon of sugar, freshly ground black pepper and salt.You can add cinnamon and star anise.Quince stuffing can be used together with apples.An excellent option is to mix apples and cranberries, cranberry and sauerkraut or Cherry-cherry filling.
