Roast goose with sour apples


In Russia, traditionally, the center piece of Christmas dinner is a roast goose with sour apples served with stewed cabbage, potatoes and steamed buckwheat kernels.

Recipe for 6 people:
  • 1 goose (5kg bird)
  • 1.5kg sour apples (antovka apples or other depending where you leave)
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Peel and core the apples. Slice them. Trim your goose and season it well (the inside cavity too).

Fill the bird with the sliced apples and close both end by sewing them together. Grease well the goose.
