Comment préparer French Canadian Tourtiere

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 lb ground pork, 1 large onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp dried sage, 1/2 tsp ground allspice, 1/4 tsp ground cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the meat loses its pink color (about 10-15 minutes).
  3. Continue to simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of mashed potatoes.
  5. Allow the filling to cool completely for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  6. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  7. Pour the cooled filling into an unbaked 9-inch pie crust.
  8. Top with a second pie crust, crimping the edges to seal.
  9. Cut a small hole (about dime-sized) in the center of the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  10. Brush the top crust with 1 egg yolk mixed with 1 tbsp milk (optional).
  11. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
  12. Let cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving with beef gravy and petite pois. For make-ahead convenience, bake until the top is lightly browned, cool completely, and freeze. Reheat at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes before serving.
  13. Enjoy this festive and flavourful piece of Quebec history!
