Today I present you my Vegetarian Christmas Goose Recipe.

Vegetarian goose? Vegan goose? That sounds crazy and it is!

Last I had discussed cooking and recipes with FB friend Karl.

Karl woke me up more or less and inspired me to cook something completely new and crazy.

According to the motto: Star chefs are outraged! And then enraptured! A vegan goose tastes so ingenious.

The vegan goose you cook without side dishes in 35 minutes!

I wish you good luck and look forward to feedback and comments!

3. Christmas Goose Survey 2018

Vegetarian goose is at first sight almost as carzy as cooking with sweets.

But the survey on Facebook with 88 votes/participants was clear:

Which recipe for goose do you want to see in 2018?

Goose in a pressure cooker or vegetarian goose?

Which goose recipe do you want to see in 2018 – clear result of a survey on Facebook…

That’s how things take their course… is there mischief coming over me?

Numerous friends contact me and are of the opinion that geese do not belong on the pasture but in the pressure cooker.

Christoph writes: Thomas … why vegetarian goose? But the majority, at least over 60%, want to see the vegetarian goose.

That’s cooking democracy in action! That’s how you put the GOOSE-WITHOUT-ANIMAL-RECIPE on me.

#goose without animal

This is exciting and I have made my head as a hedonistic cook and tried two variants veggi, vegetarian goose roast.

In this article I also show how you can prepare vegan sauce without wine.

4. Vegetarian Christmas Goose, How is that Supposed to Work?

My first culinary experiment starts with tofu and lentils.

I prepared a lentil puree, refined it with walnuts and added plenty of aromatic herbs like marjoram and rosemary.

I stacked lentil puree and tofu in layers in the form of a chicken breast and then baked them out in the oven.

The preparation of a vegan goose breast with lentil puree and tofu.

The result was not bad, yet little meat feeling, more like a vegetarian meatloaf:

The first attempt of a vegetarian goose: Lentils+Tofu result in a flaky vegan goose breast with a consistency reminiscent of meat loaf. Folded herb strudel leaf as crispy topping…

As a goose bump substitute I experimented with strudel dough, which is crispy but far away from a goose meat experience. The vegan goose needs another idea!

5. Prepare Vegetarian Christmas Goose Step by Step!

After my first vegan goose attempt I came up with a great dish:

A long time ago I ate a “beggar duck” with Wini Brugger in the Indochine in Vienna.

During this preparation, the duck meat is cut into small strips.

So there is no breast and leg on the plate but small cut duck meat.

Could this be the solution for my veggi goose?

Transferred to my GOOSE-WITHOUT-ANIMAL-PROJECT I try a meat substitute product as a basis and concentrate on the sauce and the side dishes, create a traditional goose environment.

Here are my step-by-step photos:

Gluten-free meat substitute from Quorn, I like to use this product because it actually gives a meat button.
Fry vegetarian goose meat in a pan with onions and marjoram.

I’ve already finished the side dishes and the sauce here.

The red cabbage – blue cabbage has now got its own big article.

Napkin dumplings or potato dumplings go perfectly with the vegan goose.

The sauce still remains, please prepare it first so that you can glaze the goose nicely in the pan. Here is the short description:

6. Prepare Vegan Gravy

Important: A good sauce is created by roasting aromas.

Cut the vegetables into small pieces so that they have plenty of space, then roast them vigorously.

Roast small cut root vegetables in a pot, then add tomato paste and roast dark. The dark roast aromas on the bottom of the pot are intended to give the sauce colour and flavour. Next, deglaze using red wine or blueberry juice and organic vegetable broth.
After about 15 minutes cooking time you can bind the sauce. Stir some starch into cold water. Bring the sauce to the boil and slowly add the starch water. Bring to the boil again to bind the sauce.

Please season the sauce for the goose strongly with marjoram, this creates the optimal goose environment with red cabbage and dumplings.
