# Delicacies from the Attersee-Attergau region to cook at home

Delicacies from the region to cook up
=====================================

Goose
-----

Rub the **goose** inside and out with **salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, possibly paprika and marjoram**. Peel a few **apples** and stuff the goose with them. Place with the back on a baking tray or in a deep pan and roast at 160°C, covered with aluminium foil. Roasting time depends on weight, **rule of thumb**: one hour roasting time per kg of goose.

Remove the foil after 3/4 of the roasting time. Baste the goose generously with the resulting gravy and set some aside for the gravy. Shortly before the end of the roasting time, brush the goose with a **mixture of honey and apple juice** and increase the roasting temperature to 220°C for a crispy crust. Add **water, red wine or cream** to the gravy to taste.
