Delicious! My Quebecois grandfather used to make this for me when I was a child. Now I make it for my family! 🙂
My momma makes a tourtiere every New Year she does. Visited Montreal once and got a recipe. Happy savory food.
I have a friend who makes something very similar. Her family calls it pork pie.
This is a recipe I have tried and absolutely love. Did some variations and added game meat (White tail Deer) and red wine in the sauce you can really have fun with this.
We always saute the onions with chopped celery.
Thought that was the mark of the Old Ones at first and frankly, I approve
1 cup of flour = 120 grams at 0:01 it states 1 cup – 260 grams ???
This is not a Tourtière, sorry! 🙂
This is what we call (I'm french-canadian), " pâté à la viande"; which is delicious for shure.
Tourtière is 5 inches and more tall and need around 6h on the oven to cook. We not using minced meat, but diced meat.
Check Tourtière du lac to see what am I referring to.
