“Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it."
~ Waverly Root (1903-1982)

Tourtiere Recipe


Recipe Ingredients:

1 lb Lean ground pork (try beef)
2 Cloves garlic, minced
1 Onion, finely chopped
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Crumbled sage
1/2 tsp Ground allspice
1/4 tsp Ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch Cloves
1 cup Chicken stock
1 1/2 cup Cooked red kidney beans mash
Double-crust pastry

 

Recipe Instructions:

The recommended Gluten-Free Pastry adds 184 calories, 1 starch
choice, 1 1/2 fat. Try serving the filling hot with potatoes or
toast, or with a breadcrumb topping, or serve in a home made tortilla.

Stir-cook ground meat and onion until meat is no longer pink. (Regular
ground meat is much less expensive than lean.) Drain fat and return
meat to the pan, add spices and stock. This will take about 15
minutes.

Stir in mashed beans and simmer until liquid is just evaporated, about
another 15 minutes. Cool filling about 30 minutes if making pie
crust. Serve hot immediately, refrigerate cooled mixture up to 3
days, or freeze cooled portions up to 3 months.

“That's something I've noticed about food: whenever there's a crisis if you can get people to eating normally things get better.”
