3. Tips For Stewing Goose Legs
We wish for tenderly stewed legs on the plate, the skin should be crispy.
Note the following tips and ideas to ensure success:
–> Always stew the legs in the oven with the lid on.
–> Proper “stewing” means in a closed vessel under the influence of heat from all sides.
–> The cooking time is a good 1.5 hours.
–> Continue cooking without the lid after deglazing.
–> This makes the skin of the legs crispy.
–> Check the tenderness of the legs with a fork.
–> Strain the sauce into an extra pot.
–> Wash the vegetables and put them in an extra pot.
–> Reduce the sauce, refine with salt, pepper, sugar and butter.
–> Keep the goose legs warm
–> Heat the side dish and arrange on hot plates.
–> Arrange and serve the goose legs and sauce.
4. Side Dishes Tips For the Goose Legs
This time I opted for potato dumplings for the side dishes.
Alternatively, napkin dumplings , bread dumplings or potato gratin are available.
You can make red cabbage yourself, serve with Brussels sprouts , carrots , parsnips or savoy cabbage.
As an exception, I have a few tips for you for a quick red cabbage:
–> Use frozen red cabbage.
–> Red cabbage from the jar is always second choice.
–> Refine the finished cabbage with apple compote, taste and refine.
Red cabbage from the jar is the second choice, frozen, ready-made cabbage tastes better.
Red cabbage tip from chef Thomas Sixt
Red cabbage always tastes best when you cook it yourself.
