Meat pie. This French Canadian meat pie is hearty, satisfying, and easy to make so it's a great choice for a holiday main course. Visually impressive, relatively affordable, and best served at room temperature, so a tourtiere doesn't require any kind of precise timing. I got the recipe from my husband's mother.
It's yummy and pretty easy to make too!

The pie came out tasting almost exactly like the ones we used to make! I added a pinch more salt and a little allspice to the recipe, also a teaspoon of poultry seasoning along with the sage that this recipe called for. I have saved this recipe and will continue the old tradition of meat pies for Thanksgiving and New Years Eve. Cook until the meat is no longer pink, then add remaining ingredients mixing well.

Add the onions then add minced meat,ginger/garlic paste curry powder,thyme &fry the minced meat properly.add a cup of water&boil the minced meat with seasoning cube for about 10 mins. Add the chopped carrots and Irish potatoes to the pot then leave it to boil together with the meat,when the vegetables are done,take 0.5 cups of water and add 2 tbsps of flour. Make sure the water is cold. Add this mixture to the ingredients you are cooking. This will help the pie to be moist.

Allow flavors to blend for a few minutes, then remove from heat. On a floured surface roll out one of the dough balls to fit into a sprayed pie dish. Pour the meat filling inside the dough. Roll out the other dough ball, and place on top of the meat, fluting the. The aroma was familiar to me, and I asked for a taste.
