Servings:

This tourtière (French pork pie) is the recipe my grandmother used to make. It only uses pork for the pie and is delicious. I make one for my father every Christmas Eve; he loves it!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Combine water, ground pork, onion, celery, salt, bay leaf, cloves, and cinnamon in a large saucepan over medium-low heat; simmer until water has evaporated, about 3 hours. (The water will help break up the raw pork.) Remove from heat; discard bay leaf.
  2. 2 Place potatoes in a separate saucepan with enough water to cover towards the end of pork's cook time. Bring to a boil; cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and mash potatoes. Stir mashed potatoes into pork when pork is done until combined.
  3. 3 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line two 9-inch pie plates with bottom crusts.
  4. 4 Divide pork filling between crusts. Cover with top crusts; flute edges to seal.
  5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until crusts are golden brown, about 45 minutes.
