A French-Canadian
Meat Pie Recipe
Being that winter doesn't seem to want
to leave us and being the Editor-in-
Chief with some French Canadian
heritage I decided to include a fantastic
meal that warms your insides.
This meat pie is extremely easy
to prepare and will impress quests and
family with not only it’s taste but the
aroma it generates all through the
house.
For the crust you can use a pre
made dough or if you have a good
recipe go and have at it. FOR THE
PIE:
1 1/2-2 pounds ground pork, we
like to use pork sausage
Kosher salt and freshly ground black
pepper to taste
2 tablespoons neutral oil, like canola
Diced carrot, 1 large
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium-size yellow onions,
peeled and diced
4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
2 tablespoons parsley, roughly
chopped
10-12 ounces cremini mushrooms
or a mixture of wild mushrooms,
sliced
½ cup of stock
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground clove
Pinch of ground nutmeg
Pinch of cayenne pepper or to taste
2 medium-size potatoes, like Yukon
Gold, diced small
1 large egg yolk, beaten with a
tablespoon of water
