This recipe was given to me by the Chef of the "Aux Anciens Canadiens Restaurant", 34 Rue St.Louis, Succursale Haute-Ville,Quebec
- 3 lb lean pork
- 1/2 tsp savory
- small pinch of cinnamon
- small pinch ground cloves
- 3 Tbsp salt
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 cup onions chopped
- 1 cup potatoes, cubed
- 6 uncooked pie shells
- 1 tsp whole pepper & 1 tsp whole cloves (wrapped in a cheesecloth)
- In a heavy large pan add ground pork, cheesecloth, onion, potatoes, spices and water.
- Cook for 20 minutes covered (add more water if mixture drys out).
- Remove the cheesecloth. Pour mixture between two pie crusts and cook in a 350° oven for about 1 hour.
This was the best Tourtiere that I have ever eaten. I have several other Tourtiere recipes if you are interested.
