Description

This recipe for confit goose legs is a feast for the senses! The legs are braised until tender and served with aromatic bell pepper tomato vegetables and homemade semolina dumplings. I especially like to make this dish in autumn and winter when it's cold outside. The preparation takes a while, but the result is worth every minute. A hearty and festive dish that is guaranteed to impress! The semolina dumplings are a great side dish and can be prepared very well.

Ingredients (14 ingredients)

Preparation (9 steps)

Prepare goose legs

Season the goose legs with salt and a little sugar. Melt wild lard in a pot, add a few herbs such as sage, thyme, garlic, etc. if desired. Roast the legs all around on the grill, add to the lard and confit or braise with the lid closed and indirect heat at about 120 degrees Celsius. The meat should be completely covered with lard. Since the meat of older geese requires a longer cooking time, confit the legs for another hour if necessary.
