Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork     Ground Pork Recipes

Time 2h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound lean ground pork
½ pound lean ground beef
1 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
½ cup water
1 ½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
¼ teaspoon ground sage
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, combine pork, beef, onion, garlic, water, salt, thyme, sage, black pepper and cloves. Cook over medium heat until mixture boils; stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and simmer until meat is cooked, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Spoon the meat mixture into the pie crust. Place top crust on top of pie and pinch edges to seal. Cut slits in top crust so steam can escape. Cover edges of pie with strips of aluminum foil.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes; remove foil and return to oven. Bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool 10 minutes before slicing.

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.

FRENCH CANADIAN TOURTIERE



French Canadian Tourtiere image

There are almost as many recipes for this traditional French Canadian meat pie as there are French Canadians. I come by this one honestly as my father is of francophone heritage - his ancestors settled in Quebec back in the 1600s. Our family tradition is to serve this on Christmas Eve with beef gravy and petite pois (tiny sweet peas).

Categories     Savory Pies

Time 55m

Yield 1 pie, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 lb ground pork
1/2 lb ground beef or 1/2 lb veal
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon ground sage
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
2 cups mashed potatoes (approx. 8 med potatoes, no butter or milk added)
2 (9 inch) pie crusts, pastry for (can be store bought or homemade)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, mix first 8 ingredients. Bring to a boil, simmer and stir until meat loses its pink colour.Continue to simmer 30 minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in mashed potatoes. Cool at least two hours.
  • Press filling in to uncooked pie shell.
  • Place pastry on top of filling, crimp edges to seal. Top crust can be brushed with egg or milk before baking.
  • Cut a hole in the centre, about the size of a dime.
  • Bake at 425 F for 25-35 minutes.
  • Allow to cool and set at least 20 minutes before serving with beef gravy and petite pois (tiny sweet peas). You can also bake only until top is slight browned and then freeze in advance of holidays or for a last-minute meal idea - reheat at 400 F for 15 minutes and then allow to sit for about 5 minutes before serving.

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.

Categories     Savory Pies

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.
