Braised goose legs

Prepare the vegetables 

Peel the celeriac, carrots and onions. Trim and thoroughly wash the leek. Dice the vegetables into 2 to 3 cm cubes and add them to the roaster together with the stock. 

Prepare the meat 

Finely grind the spices in a mortar and season the goose legs with them. Add the meat to the vegetables and cook in the X BO (110°C/0% humidity, automatic programme “Goose legs”) for around 30-40 minutes, until the core temperature reaches 68°C. Then cook for another 45 minutes at 115°C/20% humidity and another 15 minutes at 160°C/20% humidity. Lastly, finish cooking the goose legs for 15 minutes at 200°C/-60% humidity until nice and crispy. 

Finishing touches 

Remove the goose legs from the X BO, bind the sauce with some starch or butter (if desired) or serve immediately. 

Pro tip 

To bring out the flavour, marinate the goose legs in the spices overnight. So that the meat stays nice and succulent and the skin crisps up, do not sprinkle the skin with salt until shortly before cooking.
