Martinjska guska s marunima

Martinjska guska s marunima is a specialty of the Croatian region of Zagorje, utilizing goose and chestnuts as its main ingredients. The goose is traditionally stuffed with a combination of roasted chestnuts, bacon, onions, moistened bread, eggs, salt, and pepper. It is then baked in an oven for about 3 hours. The dish is typically served with side dishes such as potato dumplings and a salad made with red cabbage and apples. It is especially popular during the feast of St Martin, called Martinje (related to the christening of wine must), celebrated every year on November 11, so the dish is always accompanied by a few glasses of wine.
