Prairie Kitchens - Tourtiere
My first tourtiere, that famous meat pie brought to Saskatchewan by settlers from French Canada. Curious, do you have tourtiere in your family tradition?

I used the recipe of the Marchand family of Bellevue, which was included in a new booklet on the history and flavours of that francophone region of Saskatchewan. Every year, mother and daughters get together and bake as many as 100 tourtieres for the Christmas season!

We do have a tourtière tradition in my family. My great-grandmother used to make it, and I learned from her. Our recipe is very time-consuming but very simple. We take a pork butt roast with the bone in and boil it down until the meat falls off the bone and the broth becomes gelatinous. Then we add chopped onion and fresh garlic along with salt and pepper. Put it in the double crust made with lard (the only time I use lard all year). Bake.
That's it. Very simple. I've never met any one else who makes it this way, but I think my family has done it like this for a very very long time.
Thanks, Reine. That is a different version from what I've read, but it sounds delicious -- starting with a bone-in roast and using the broth. That's amazing flavour. Thanks for sharing your family tradition.
