Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup beef broth or chicken broth
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 egg beaten, (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
- Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Stir in the cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute to let the spices toast slightly.
- Pour in the broth and simmer the mixture for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. If the mixture looks too dry, you can add a bit more broth.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Line a pie dish with the pie crust.
- Spoon the meat mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
- Place the second pie crust on top of the filling. Crimp the edges to seal the pie.
- Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to create a shiny finish.
- Bake the tourtière in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Let the tourtière cool slightly before cutting into it.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
