ALICE'S FRENCH CANADIAN MEAT PIE - TOURTIERE



Alice's French Canadian Meat Pie - Tourtiere image

This is my mother's recipe that she got from her mother, who was born in Montreal Canada. We have had these pies every Christmas since I was a little kid. It would not be Christmas in our family without mom's tourtieres! Thanks mom for the recipe and all the wonderful holidays you gave us over the years!

TOURTIERE DU QUEBEC (FRENCH-CANADIAN MEAT PIE)



Tourtiere Du Quebec (French-Canadian Meat Pie) image

I grew in Quebec and always looked forward to Christmas to be able to eat meat pies. When I married & moved to the US, I took the recipe with me, no way I can spend Christmas without the smell of cooking meat pies. Luckily for me, hubby & kids are hooked. I've been making this recipe for years, delicious.

Time 1h35m

Yield 1 pie, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 lb ground beef
1/3 lb ground pork
1/3 lb ground veal
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 small potato, grated
1 small garlic clove, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon clove
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup water
1 pastry for double-crust pie

Steps:

  • Place all the ingredients (except for pie shell) in a sauce pan and bring to boil and cook uncovered for 20 minutes over medium heat.
  • Cool the meat mixture and pour in pastry lined pan. Note: I like to cool mine in refrigerator over night if time permits.
  • Cover with the top crust, cut steam vents and bake in a 400F oven until golden, about 45 minutes.
  • Freeze well.
  • Note: If ground pork and ground veal cannot be found, you can use meatloaf mix which is all 3 meat but I'm not sure of the ratio.

TRADITIONAL FRENCH CANADIAN TOURTIERE



Traditional French Canadian Tourtiere image

Originally from my grandma's recipe box, the secret of this delectable Christmas treasure is found in the ground cloves and chicken seasoning. We've always made our tourtieres en grand (in large quantity), as they freeze great making them a terrific quick fix throughout the busy holiday season!

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork     Ground Pork Recipes

Time 1h45m

Yield 64

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 pounds ground pork
8 pounds ground beef
4 cups finely chopped onion
6 cups water
2 ½ tablespoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper
2 teaspoons allspice
1 ¾ teaspoons ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup liquid chicken seasoning
8 (15 ounce) packages pastry for double-crust pie

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • In a large pot, mix the pork, beef, onion, and water. Season with salt, pepper, allspice, cloves, cinnamon, and chicken seasoning. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 30 minutes.
  • Drain liquid from pot into a bowl. Transfer remaining meat mixture to a separate bowl and chill until ready to use. Place bowl with liquid in the refrigerator and chill 1 hour, or until fat has congealed on the surface.
  • Scrape and discard fat from the chilled liquid. Spoon the meat mixture into pie crusts. Add 1 tablespoon of reserved liquid to each pie. (This prevents them from becoming to dry.) Place top crust on top of each pie and pinch edges to seal. Cut slits in top crust so steam can escape.
  • Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 50 minutes. Serve immediately or freeze until ready to use.
