Tourtiere De Quebec (Quebec Pork Pie)

Servings: 6

Ingredients:

1 1/4 lb Ground pork

1/4 ts Dried rosemary

1/2 To 3/4 cup cold water

1/4 ts Grated nutmeg

1/2 c Onion, finely chopped

Pinch cinnamon

1/4 c Celery, finely chopped

Salt

1/2 ts Ground black pepper

1/4 c Old-fashioned rolled oats

1 Bay leaf

Pastry for double crust pie

1/2 ts Dried savoury

Instructions:

This is considered Quebec style, using rolled oats instead of potatoes to thicken
the filling shows a Scottish influence. Servings: 6 In a large, heavy frying
pan, combine pork with cold water and heat to boiling point. Add onion, celery,
pepper, bay leaf, savoury, rosemary, nutmeg and cinnamon. Cook, covered, over
medium-low heat for 1 1/2 hours, adding more water if mixture dries out. Halfway
through cooking time, season with salt to taste. Stir in rolled oats and cook,
stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Meanwhile, line a 9-inch pie
plate with pastry. When meat mixture is lukewarm, spoon into pie shell and cover
with remaining pastry. Trim pastry, seal edges and cut steam vents in top crust.
Decorate with pastry cutouts as desired. Bake in preheated 425 deg F oven for
15 minutes, then reduce heat to 375 deg F and bake another 25 minutes or until
crust is golden.
