Recipe Roast Goose

Roast goose

1. Wash, thoroughly dry and season the goose with salt from the outside and from the inside and sprinkle with cumin seeds.
2. Place the goose with its breast (chest) down onto a roasting pan, and pour some water (about 3 dcl) around it.
3. Bake the goose in an electric oven at 200° C, in a hot air oven at 180° C and in a gas oven at gas mark 4, for an hour per each kilo and keep basting the goose with the juices collected. (A 3 kg goose roasts for 3 hours).
4. As you laid the goose breast down, in the middle of the roasting, turn the goose breast up and continue basting the goose with the juices collected, thus achieving an even browning and the breasts are not dried.
5. After roasting, allow about 15 minutes to rest, cut into pieces and serve.
