TOURTIERE (FRENCH CANADIAN MEAT PIE)
This French Canadian meat pie is hearty, satisfying, and easy to make so it's a great choice for a holiday main course. Visually impressive, relatively affordable, and best served at room temperature, so a tourtiere doesn't require any kind of precise timing.

Steps:
- Place flour, salt, and frozen butter slices into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse on and off until butter is about the size of peas, about 30 seconds. Stir vinegar into cold water; drizzle water/vinegar into the flour mixture. Pulse on and off until mixture is crumbly and holds together when you pinch a piece off, about 10 seconds. If dough isn't pressing together, drizzle in another teaspoon of water.
- Transfer mixture to a work surface. Press it together until it becomes a lump of dough. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
- Mix salt, pepper, thyme, sage, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, mustard, clove, and cayenne together in a small bowl.
- Place potato quarters in a saucepan; cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat. Simmer until cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Scoop out potatoes and transfer to a bowl; save cooking liquid. Mash potatoes with a potato masher.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and a pinch of salt. Cook and stir until onions turn golden, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Stir garlic, celery, and spice blend into the skillet with onions. Stir until onion mixture is evenly coated with the spices, about 30 seconds. Add ground beef and ground pork. Ladle about 3/4 cup of the potato cooking liquid into the skillet.
- Cook and stir until meat is browned and has a very fine, almost pastelike texture. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until meat is tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 45 minutes. Stir in mashed potatoes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Divide chilled dough into 2 pieces, one just slightly larger than the other. Roll the larger piece out into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured work surface. Place in a 9-inch deep dish pie plate. Roll top crust out into a circle about 11 inches in diameter. Cut small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Fill bottom crust with the meat mixture; smooth out the surface. Whisk egg and water together to make egg wash. Brush edges of the bottom crust with egg wash. Place top crust on the pie and press lightly around the edges to seal. Trim excess dough from the crust. Crimp the edges of the crust. Brush entire surface of the pie with egg wash.
- Place in preheated oven. Bake until well browned, about 1 hour. Let cool to almost room temperature before serving.

TOURTIERE DU QUEBEC (FRENCH-CANADIAN MEAT PIE)
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.

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.

- For the pastry: In a mixing bowl whisk flour, salt and dry mustard together. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the cold butter and shortening into the flour mixture until it looks like coarse crumbs. In a liquid measuring cup, combine the egg and vinegar and add enough ice water to make 2/3 cup (150 mL). Drizzle the egg mixture over the dry ingredients and stir with a fork until dough starts to come together. Divide the dough in half and form into discs. Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour. (Pastry can be made and refrigerated two days ahead.)
- For the filling: Heat olive oil in a large skillet and sauté onion with salt, pepper, mustard and spices. Add the carrot, garlic and herbs and sauté for 1 to 2 min over medium heat until spices start to become fragrant. Add the beef and sauté over medium heat, about 15 min. Add 1/4 cup (60 mL) of water to the mixture. Mix the cornstarch with 2 tbsp (30 mL) of water to make a slurry. Stir into the meat and simmer, 5 to 10 min until mixture is thickened. Take off the heat and let cool completely. (Meat mixture can be made 1 day ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container).
- On a lightly floured clean surface, roll out one pastry disc to 1/8” (3 mm) thick and approximately 12” (30 cm) in diameter to fit a 9” (23 cm) pie plate, allowing the extra pastry to fall over the sides. Spoon meat filling into pastry. Roll out second pastry disc, repeating size and thickness of the first. For the egg wash: Mix the egg and 1 tbsp (15 mL) of water together. Brush egg wash along the edge of pie shell. Trim pastry, leaving 1” (3 cm) dough over edge. Cover the pie with the second rolled-out pastry. Press the edges of the pie to seal. Trim any excess dough and finish by crimping the edges of the pie.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush pie with remaining egg wash, cut steam vents in the top and bake in the lower third of the oven for 30 to 40 min or until top of tourtière is golden brown. Let rest for 10 to 15 min before serving.
