Cooking plan
What to make on which day, so the holiday itself is only warming up and serving.
The day before · Tuesday, November 10
Roast goose with mlinci · St Martin's dinner
Salt the goose, rub it with marjoram and leave it overnight; put the apples inside.
Braised red cabbage · St Martin's dinner
Braise the cabbage for an hour; reheated the next day it is better still.
Apple pie (pita od jabuka) · St Martin's dinner
Bake the pie the day before; overnight the apples settle and it cuts cleanly.
On the day · Wednesday, November 11
Chicken soup · St Martin's dinner
Simmer the chicken and vegetables for two hours, strain, and cook the noodles in the broth.
Roast goose with mlinci · St Martin's dinner
Roast at 160 °C for three to four hours, pouring off the fat. Scald the mlinci and turn them in the roasting fat.
New wine · St Martin's dinner
Chill the wine and christen it before dinner, as the custom goes.
Questions
- What is eaten on St Martin's Day?
- Roast goose or duck with mlinci and red cabbage, with the new wine christened that day, and apple cake or roast chestnuts to finish.
- How much goose per person?
- About 400 g with the bone per person: a goose is mostly bone and fat, so one of 4 to 5 kg feeds ten.
