it is described as a typically French Canadian main dish. I must say it sounds good though I admit I will probably play with the seasonings some when I make it. Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs ground pork |
1 large baking potato |
1 large onion, minced |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/4 celery, diced |
1 cup mushroom, sliced |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/2 teaspoon ground thyme |
1 dash ground allspice |
1/2 cup water |
1 (9 inch) pastry for double-crust deep dish pie |
1 egg |
1/4 teaspoon paprika |
Directions:
1. Bake the potato until done, 30 - 45 minutes in a preheated 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) oven; peel and mash the potato.
2. Place the potato, ground pork, onion, mushrooms, spices and water in a large frying pan and simmer until very thick, for about one hour.
3. Meanwhile, prepare your pastry; line a deep-dish pie plate with pastry.
4. Spoon in filling, spreading evenly & cover with top crust.
5. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with paprika, if desired; cut steam vent.
6. Bake for 50 minutes at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C); if edges brown too fast, cover with a strip of foil.
