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.

- Cover with the top crust, cut steam vents and bake in a 400F oven until golden, about 45 minutes.

- 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.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, soften the garlic and onions in the oil. Add the pork and veal and continue cooking for about 15 minutes, stirring to crumble the meat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the veal stock, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and potatoes and cook, stirring frequently, until the potatoes begin to fall apart, about 45 minutes. Let cool. Adjust the seasoning. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or until completely chilled.
- With the rack in the lowest position, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

- In a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Add the butter and pulse for a few seconds at a time until the butter is the size of peas. Add the water and pulse again until the dough just begins to form. Add water as needed. Remove the dough from the food processor and form 2 discs. Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough on a floured work surface or between 2 sheets of parchment paper in a 1/8-inch (3 to 4-mm) thick sheet. Use the dough to make a 2-crust pie or line two 9 to 10-inch (23 to 25-cm) pie plates. Yield: 2 pie crusts.

TOURTIERE (MEAT PIE)
No French Canadian Christmas Eve buffet would be complete without a slice of this rich meat pie, but tourtiere lovers eat this favorite year-round, hot or cold. Although pork is the most popular version, the dish can be made with beef, veal, or game meats. Fillings can include mashed potatoes, oats, flour, or cracker crumbs. It is often served with ketchup, gherkins, or pickled beets. If you're short on time, use a premade pie crust. Pie will keep for 4 days, refrigerated. May also be frozen, wrapped in plastic, for up to 3 months.

Steps:
- Put pork, onion, allspice. cloves, salt, pepper, and 3/4 cup water into a wide, heavy pot. Break up meat with a spoon, then cook over high heat until water starts to boil. Cover and simmer on low heat for 1 hour. If mixture becomes dry, add a few tablespoons of water as needed.
- Make pie crust while filling is cooking. Stir together flour and salt. Cut butter into flour mixture using a pastry cutter, or pulse butter and flour mixture in a food processor, until butter is the size of small peas. Stir in 1/2 cup ice water. Dough should look shaggy and come together when pressed into a ball. If it's too crumbly, add water by the tablespoon until dough just holds together but is not wet or sticky.
- Divide dough in half. Flatten each half into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate.
- After filling has cooked for 1 hour, peel and cut potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Stir potatoes into meat mixture. If mixture is dry, add 1/4 cup water. Cover and simmer over low heat for 30 to 35 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Uncover and cook off any excess moisture.
- Remove from heat. With potato masher, mash potatoes into meat. Set aside to cool to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes.
- While filling is cooling, preheat oven to 425 degrees. Roll out both disks of dough. Line a 9-inch pie plate with one crust. Trim excess dough from edge. Refrigerate both crusts until ready to fill.
- Prepare egg wash. In a small bowl, mix egg yolk with the water. Spoon cooled filling into bottom crust, pressing firmly. Brush crust edge with egg wash, then top with remaining crust, crimping edges to seal. Brush top of pie with remaining egg wash. Cut four 1-1/2-inch slashes onto top of crust. Bake in lower third of oven until crust is golden, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
