In fact, the goose has long been considered a festive fooddish. And the thing is that the dish itself looks more than impressive, and it takes quite a bit of time to prepare it. Our ancestors could not afford such luxury - to spend too much time on cooking. But we are a different story! Most of us are only happy to sacrifice our time to master some new recipe and please our loved ones with a new culinary masterpiece. And if it comes to the holiday menu, then such a sacrifice will only double the joy! But let's not beat around the bush - we are talking about a chic dish, which, by the way, can be prepared with significant savings of your own time and effort. And we will cook a goose. And not just a goose, but with apples. And not just bake it in the oven, but cook it in a sleeve. Was it in vain that they invented this culinary device - a baking sleeve? So, today on our table - a goose with apples in its sleeve! Shall we begin?
Goose in the sleeve with apples
Recipe for traditional goose cooking in the oven. Ingredients:
- Goose (whole bird);
- 2 tablespoons of honey;
- 2 tablespoons of ready-made mustard;
- 1 head of garlic;
- Salt (at your discretion);
- Black ground pepper (at your discretion);
- 5-6 pieces of fresh apples sweet and sour taste.
Preparation:To prepare a tasty and tender bird, it must first be thoroughly marinated. Therefore, we first clean the carcass from stumps, singe it if necessary, wash and dry it. Now take a toothpick and pierce the carcass in several places - the more such punctures we make, the juicier the meat will be. Peel the garlic and chop it on a fine grater or with a garlic press. Add salt and ground black pepper to the garlic gruel, mix everything well and rub the entire carcass with the garlic mass - outside and inside. Leave the bird to marinate for about half an hour and prepare the sauce: grind mustard with honey. By the way, if you like spices, you can add them to the sauce to your taste. These can be any of your favorite seasonings, from a mixture of peppers to dry basil or oregano. So, after half an hour of marinating the goose in garlic, rub it with sauce (both outside and inside), wrap it in cling film and put it in the refrigerator for at least a night, and best of all for a day. In general, this stage is the longest in the process of cooking a goose in a sleeve. After the bird is marinated, prepare the apples. They need to be washed, cut into four to six pieces and remove the hard core with seeds. Now pack the goose in a baking sleeve, put the sliced apples next to the carcass (also in the sleeve!) and put the goose with apples in the oven. By the way, the oven should be preheated to 220 degrees, and the sleeve with the goose should be placed on a baking sheet. Bake the goose at this temperature for about two hours, every half hour lowering the temperature in the oven by twenty degrees. Remove the finished bird from the oven, free it from the now unnecessary sleeve and put it on a plate. Serve with baked apples, boiled potatoes or fresh vegetable salad. Goose baked in the oven turns out soft and juicy, so the success of your dish is guaranteed!
Goose stuffed with apples on the sleeve
Another recipe for cooking goose with apples in the sleeve. But this time we will stuff the goose with apples. Ingredients:
- Goose (weighing about three kilograms);
- 1 head of garlic;
- 5-6 apples of sweet and sour taste;
- 1 head of onions;
- 1 carrot;
- 2 lemons;
- Salt and black pepper (at your discretion);
- 4 laurel leaves.
Preparation: What's good about this recipe?Yes, because it is very simple! First, we process our bird, removing all the extra stumps, singeing, washing and drying it thoroughly. Now we peel the garlic (half a head) and chop it, passing it through a garlic press or grating it on a fine grater. Mix the garlic gruel with salt and black pepper and rub our bird with this mixture inside and out. Now we peel the remaining garlic, onion and carrot. Cut all the vegetables into long thin strips. Make deep punctures in the carcass with a sharp narrow knife and lard the goose with carrots, garlic and onions. Now squeeze the juice out of the lemons and generously pour it over our bird. At the same time, make sure that the lemon juice flows into the punctures. Leave the goose to marinate for three hours (at least!), putting the carcass in the refrigerator. Take the marinated bird out of the refrigerator. Wash the apples, cut them in half and remove the hard core with seeds. Stuff the goose with the apple halves, placing them inside the carcass. Now put the bird in a baking sleeve, add a bay leaf, tie the sleeve and make several punctures in it so that steam can escape from the sleeve during baking. Turn on the oven and let it heat up to 200 degrees. Put the goose on a baking sheet and send it to a hot oven, where we leave it for about two hours. Twenty minutes before the end of baking, cut the sleeve and unfold, leaving the carcass to brown. Take the finished bird out of the oven, remove the stuffing and cut into portions. Put them in a pile on a plate, and put the halves of the baked apples around them. Enjoy the sight, aroma and taste of our excellent dish.
Goose in the sleeve with apples and oranges
The recipe is very similar to the previous ones, butdistinguished by its filling. We will add oranges to it. If you haven't tried this stuffed goose yet, now is the time to do it - the result will definitely please you. Ingredients:
- A goose weighing about four to five kilograms;
- 2 oranges;
- 4 apples of sweet and sour taste;
- Mustard;
- Honey;
- Salt;
- Spicy red pepper (ground).
Preparation:As usual, pre-treat the goose carcass, wash it well and dry it. Mix salt with red pepper and rub the carcass with this mixture inside and out. Now wash the apples and cut them into slices, also cut the oranges (in the peel!). Stuff the bird with fruit and pack it in a baking sleeve, which we then tie and make several punctures in it to let out steam. Turn on the oven, heat it up to about 200 degrees, put the goose on a baking sheet and put it in the oven. In total, it will take about four hours to bake the goose. When about an hour has passed, reduce the heat in the oven and continue baking the bird at a lower temperature. Half an hour before the goose is ready, take it out of the sleeve, rub it with a mixture of mustard and honey and bake until golden brown and crispy.
