    Remove the legs from the stock and place them on the grid of the oven. Set aside the stock. Season legs with salt and pepper. Push the fat pan under the grid in the preheated oven (electric range: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3), roast for about 1 hour.

  3. 3

    After 30 minutes, pour approx. 200 ml goose stock into the vegetables. About 10 minutes before the end of the roasting time, brush the legs with cold salted water and fry until crispy. Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cook covered in boiling water for about 15 minutes.

    Drain the potatoes, rinse under cold water and peel the skin. Peel onion and cut into larger cubes. Clean and wash the savoy cabbage, cut out the stalk and hard leaf panicles. Cut leaves into pieces.

    Take out the fat pan with vegetables, keep the legs warm. Loosen the frying pan with approx. 400 ml goose stock, drain through a sieve into a pot. Add cloves, aniseed, cinnamon stick, red wine and orange juice, bring to the boil, simmer gently for about 10 minutes, season with salt and pepper.
