Roast Goose
Roast goose
- Wash, thoroughly dry and season the goose with salt from the outside and from the inside and sprinkle with cumin seeds.
- Place the goose with its breast (chest) down onto a roasting pan, and pour some water (about 3 dcl) around it.
- 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).
- 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.
- After roasting, allow about 15 minutes to rest, cut into pieces and serve.
Braised cabbage
- Sprinkle the cleaned and grated cabbage with salt. Put in a pot with the lard and cumin, fry it, add granulated sugar, leave to caramelize.
- Finely chop the peeled onion, add it to the caramel, stir it, immediately add the lard and stir it well again.
- Place the cabbage, bay leaf, and vinegar, braise together for 40-50 minutes, until the cabbage is soft.
- Finally, season it.
Potato pancakes
- Push the unpeeled boiled potatoes through a sieve, add salt, 2 eggs, fine flour and mix.
- Knead the dough, from which you make a roll, cut it into pieces and with the rolling pin roll the potato pancakes to a thickness of about 2 mm and the size of the pan in which you are going to cook them.
- Cook in a dry pan (such as for crepes), wipe each pancake after cooking with a kitchen towel to wipe out any remaining flour.
- Put them on a plate covered with a clean cloth towel, brush each pancake with the fat/lard on the top, its bottom is brushed by itself from the previous pancake and serve.

Recipes
Beans and Pasta Soup
A great dish of Veneto’s cuisine tradition is the classic but tasty recipe of pasta e fasoi. For the locals of Veneto beans are related to strength and survival, as they helped families to feed themselves and carry on during hard times of war and famine.
The Emperor’s Schmarrn
When it came to his choice of meals, Emperor Franz Joseph proved very loyal to his native country and region. Alongside cooked beef, he loved simple pastry dishes made from eggs, flour, milk and a little sugar, such as the light and creamy Kaiserschmarren. Also known as ‘Emporer’s Trifle’, this dish is a true staple in Viennese cuisine and can not only be served as dessert but also as a main course. And: It is really easy to make.
Apple Strudel
Strudel, štrudl, štrudla and štrukli – these are the names given by our neighbors in Italy, Slovenia, Slovakia and the Czech Republic to this sweet dream of light pastry and its juicy filling. But in English, the only word which has made it into common use is the German “Strudel”. That is a powerful signal of just how famous the Viennese Apfelstrudel has now become internationally. But it’s all too easily forgotten that this fine pastry once traveled an extensive route from Arabia via the Ottoman Empire and Turkey, before becoming resident in Vienna. However, the long journey was worth it!
Chicory Ham Rolls
Heads of chicory rolled into slices of ham and served with cheese sauce and mashed potatoes.
