About the dish

From "Poultry and Game" in "Stor kokebok" (Great Cookbook) (1914). The recipe begins at the bottom of page 264 and the method continues on page 265. The method is classic braising: the goose is steam-cooked in a ready-made, strained braise of onion, pork, root vegetables, and veal stock.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Prepare the goose

    Clean the goose and prepare it as for an ordinary roast goose.

  2. 2

    Brown onion and pork

    Clean and cut up the onion and brown it in the butter. Add slices of salted, fresh, or smoked side pork to the pot and let them fry for 10 minutes, stirring.

  3. 3

    Boil the braise

    Pour in the veal stock, add the peppercorns, celery root, and carrots, and let it boil, covered, for 2 hours. Strain the braise and return it to the heat.

  4. 4

    Steam-cook the goose

    When the braise is boiling, put in the goose. Let it cook, covered, for 2–3 hours, or until the meat is tender. Salt to taste.

  5. 5

    Presentation

    Carve the goose and serve it hot in the stock. Browned root vegetables, rutabaga, or parsnip, or various boiled vegetables go well with this. You can also serve sauce à la Toulouse or mushroom sauce.

Changes from the original
