2 onions roughly chopped, plus 1 finely diced onion
2 carrots roughly chopped
1 apple cored and chopped
1 cinnamon stick
5 whole cloves
6 3/4 tablespoons apple juice
2 5/8 pounds goose breast with skin and bone
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
5 tablespoons maple syrup
3 1/2 ounces smoked streaky bacon finely diced
1/2 bread slice, diced
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup mushrooms finely diced
2 7/8 cups mashed potato cold
3 tablespoons plain flour
2 medium eggs
3 tablespoons chopped parsley finely
1 red cabbage trimmed and thinly sliced
1 7/8 cups dried cherries
5 tablespoons red wine
1 11/16 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 teaspoons cornflour

1
Preheat the oven to 375u00b0F. Mix the chopped onion, carrot, apple, cinnamon stick and whole cloves together and place in a roasting pan. Pour in 2/3 cup water and the apple juice. Place the goose breast on top and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 1 hour and 15-30 mins. Increase the heat to 400u00b0F halfway through. Mix the ground cinnamon, ground cloves and syrup together. Spread this over the goose at half-hour intervals.
2
In pan over medium-high heat cook the bacon for 4-5 mins until golden. Remove from the pan and add the diced bread and cook in the bacon fat for 2-3 mins then remove from the pan. Add 1 tbsp butter and stir in the mushrooms and saute for 8-10 mins until golden.
3
Mix the mashed potato, flour and egg together then knead in the bacon and parsley. With wet hands, shape the mixture into 12-16 dumplings and add some of the mushroom mixture to the center of each.
4
To make the cabbage, heat 1 tbsp butter in a saucepan, add the diced onion and saute for 2-3 mins. Add the cabbage, cherries and wine and simmer covered for 25-30 mins.
5
Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to a boil. Slide in the dumplings and gently simmer for 15-20 mins. Drain.
6
Transfer the goose to a separate baking dish and turn off the oven. Place the goose back in the oven to keep warm. Deglaze the roasting pan with 1/2 cup of hot water then pour the mixture through a sieve into a tall pan. Skim the excess fat. Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Mix the cornstarch with 2 tbsp water until smooth then stir into the pan and simmer, stirring, until the gravy thickens. Stir in some sugar and season, to taste.
7
Slice the goose and divide between 4 plates. Add dumplings and cabbage to each plate and drizzle with gravy.
