TOURTIÈRE- I KNOW, I KNOW Québécois...
This is one of those dishes The Quebecois think they own as do the Acadians.... this one happens to be an Acadian recipe, but if you ask around in Quebec/NB/NS or nothern Maine.... these recipes are like opinions... every a$$hole has one!
As for the Pie crust itself... use a favorite of yours, or do like I do a lot of the time and buy a storebought one.
TOURTIÈRE
INGREDIENTS 1/2 lb each veal and pork, chopped in food processor
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup Vegetable or Chicken Stock or Broth
1/2 teaspoon allspice
2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup milk
salt and papper to taste
2 uncooked pie shells
PREPARATION Brown onions in fat. Add chopped meat; brown lightly. Add spices and stir well. Add the remaining ingredients; stir and simmer. Pour into pie shell and cover with the second pie crust; flute edges. Bake in a 350 degree F. oven for 1/2 hour or until crust is cooked or browned.

I have made this type of recipe several times...always trying to recreate the meat pies of youth. I love anything in pastry. I always serve it with a good homemade beef gravy. I do add a little ground mace, trying to recreate that 'banger' type flavor I grew up with.

It's a pretty moist pie @ pjracz but I come from a family that considers gravy to be a beverage so..... gravy it is..... go with beef!
@ lilartist- yep this is one that I sent you, but after the next couple of reruns for you I'll have more new ones.

Touche, Pavlov - I am just another a$$hole with an opinion!!
My recipe is French Canadian.
bareneed at 11:03PM on 12/30/08
lol....Très bien! Moi aussie ... des recettes en Acadienne!
My other grandparents were french canadian so I got the pie many ways...

we usually ate ours with ketchup. i think if you make a good crust... you can save the gravy for poutine.
