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.

Braising, as it is technically done correctly.

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 always tastes best when you cook it yourself.
