- Title: Tourtire
- Keywords: pies, pork, Canada
-
- Yield: 1 pie
-
- 1 Double crust pastry
- 1/3 lb Veal
- 1/3 lb Beef
- 1/3 lb Pork
- 1 md Onion; minced
- 1/4 c Water
- 2 sl Bread; or
- 1 sm Potato; boiled & mashed
- 3/4 ts Salt
- 1/4 ts Pepper
- 1/8 ts Cloves, ground
- 1/8 ts Cinnamon, ground
-
- Preheat oven to 425 F. Prepare pastry. Reserve some for top crust and
- line 9" pie plate with remainder.
-
- Brown meat and drain fat. Add onion and spices. Crumb the bread (or
- mash the potato); mix in water and fold in meat mixture. Check spices.
-
- Cool and place mixture into uncooked pie shell. Cover with top crust,
- seal and flute edge. Bake in a hot oven until browned. Baked toutiere
- may be frozen. To serve, reheat in a moderate oven about 30 minutes.
-
- Note: The reason why I mix bread or a baked potato in the meat is so
- that the pie is juicy, not runny. What you want to do is prevent the
- pie from drying up but you don't want it to be soggy and spoil the
- pastry. You can omit the bread and potato if you prefer, but you should
- still add the 1/4 c. water. Also, I find it much more tasty if there is
- lots of cinnamon and cloves.
-
- Oh, I almost forgot! Make sure you serve with lots of ketchup!!!
