Pere Beaudry's Tourtiere
- 12 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 1 lb ground beef or 1 lb moose or 1 lb veal
- 12 lb ground lean pork
- 1 garlic clove (chopped fine)
- 14 teaspoon thyme (or both) or 14 teaspoon oregano (or both)
- 12 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 14 cup water
- 1 teaspoon flour
- 18 cup cream
- Preheat oven to 450'F.
- In a skillet, cook the onion, garlic and spices on medium low heat in the oil.
- When onion is transparent, add the meat.
- Let simmer stirring occasionally until meat is no longer pink.
- Make a gravy by adding the flour to the water.
- Stir well and add to the cooking meat to thicken the mixture.
- Put the bottom pie crust in the pie pan and add the cooked meat.
- Put on the top crust.
- Brush the top of the crust with the cream.
- Pere Beaudry says that the meat can dry out in the pie, so the gravy helps keep it moist.
- In the 450'F oven bake the pie for 10 minutes.
- Then turn it down to 350'F and bake for a further 20 minutes until golden brown.
- Bon Apetit!
