FAVORITE FRENCH CANADIAN MEAT PIE
I'm a seventh-generation French Canadian, and my ancestors started the tradition of serving this meat pie on Christmas Eve. One year I didn't make it, and my daughter and I felt something was missing. The savory pie goes well with salad and fresh rolls for a lighter meal, and it's good served in small portions with turkey and all the trimmings, too.

TOURTIERE (FRENCH CANADIAN 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.

Steps:
- Place flour, salt, and frozen butter slices into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse on and off until butter is about the size of peas, about 30 seconds. Stir vinegar into cold water; drizzle water/vinegar into the flour mixture. Pulse on and off until mixture is crumbly and holds together when you pinch a piece off, about 10 seconds. If dough isn't pressing together, drizzle in another teaspoon of water.
- Transfer mixture to a work surface. Press it together until it becomes a lump of dough. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
- Mix salt, pepper, thyme, sage, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, mustard, clove, and cayenne together in a small bowl.
- Place potato quarters in a saucepan; cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat. Simmer until cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Scoop out potatoes and transfer to a bowl; save cooking liquid. Mash potatoes with a potato masher.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and a pinch of salt. Cook and stir until onions turn golden, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Stir garlic, celery, and spice blend into the skillet with onions. Stir until onion mixture is evenly coated with the spices, about 30 seconds. Add ground beef and ground pork. Ladle about 3/4 cup of the potato cooking liquid into the skillet.
- Cook and stir until meat is browned and has a very fine, almost pastelike texture. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until meat is tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 45 minutes. Stir in mashed potatoes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Divide chilled dough into 2 pieces, one just slightly larger than the other. Roll the larger piece out into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured work surface. Place in a 9-inch deep dish pie plate. Roll top crust out into a circle about 11 inches in diameter. Cut small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Fill bottom crust with the meat mixture; smooth out the surface. Whisk egg and water together to make egg wash. Brush edges of the bottom crust with egg wash. Place top crust on the pie and press lightly around the edges to seal. Trim excess dough from the crust. Crimp the edges of the crust. Brush entire surface of the pie with egg wash.
- Place in preheated oven. Bake until well browned, about 1 hour. Let cool to almost room temperature before serving.

Steps:
- Prepare the filling: Mix all of the filling ingredients together in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the meat is no longer pink. Do not brown the meat. Lower heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Crumble bread crusts into mixture and stir until absorbed into the mixture. Remove mixture to a bowl, cover and refrigerate until chilled before using.
- Make the pastry: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Cut in the lard with a pastry blender or two knives until the lard is incorporated. In a one cup measuring cup, beat together the egg and vinegar, then add enough water to the measuring cup until it measures 1 cup. Add this mixture to the flour mixture, adding about 2/3 of it at first, stirring, then adding just as much more as is needed to make a moist dough. Divide dough into 4 pieces, wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Take out 1 piece of dough and place onto a well-floured work surface. Roll dough into a circle large enough for a 9-inch pie plate. *Note: You will have plenty of dough. Roll to the desired thickness and trim off the excess. Place in bottom of pie plate. Add 1/2 of the meat filling. Roll another piece of dough large enough to cover. Pinch or use a fork to seal the edges together around the outside. Repeat with two more pieces of dough and the rest of the meat filling to make 2 pies. *Your excess dough can be refrigerated or frozen for another time and purpose, if you like.
- Mix an egg with 1 Tbsp of water and generously brush the tops of the pies. Cut a few slits in the middle to allow the steam to escape.
- Place in preheated oven (*If using glass pie plates, reduce the oven to 375F once the pies are placed in the oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes), otherwise, bake at 400F for 35-40 minutes, or until golden. If at any time you think your pastry may over-brown, simply lay a sheet of aluminum foil over-top for the last part of baking.
- Serve warm.

- Poutine. Though it comes in many forms now – from chicken, bacon, and ranch to chicken tikka – you can’t beat a plate of classic poutine. My first experience with poutine couldn’t have been more Canadian if I tried: it was at a hockey game in Toronto!
- Tourtière: A French-Canadian Meat Pie. This is one thick slice of ground meat, onions, and savory seasonings. If you’re wondering just how all that ground beef holds its shape, there’s one secret ingredient: mashed potatoes.
- Montreal Bagels. You’ve probably heard all about how amazing New York bagels are, right? I mean, it’s true, they are sensational! But I have to say these Montreal bagels are a close second.
- Easy Bannock Bread. Brought to Canada by Scottish fur traders, many Canadian Indigenous people adopted this simple fried bread, and it’s still super popular today.
- Canadian Salmon in a Maple Syrup Marinade. When I make salmon, I love a sweet chili glaze served with some yummy fried rice. But when I saw this quick maple marinade, I just knew I had to try it out!
- Nova Scotia Lobster Rolls. Most people associate lobster rolls with Maine, but since Nova Scotia is so close, it makes sense they’d have something similar.
- French Canadian-Style Crockpot Split Pea Soup. There’s a lot going on in that title, but fear not, this is such a straightforward recipe! How straightforward?
- Montreal Steak Seasoning. Montreal steak seasoning is a delightful mix of paprika, salt, garlic, pepper, onion, coriander, crushed red pepper, and dill.
- Nova Scotia Style Donair. Kebabs come in all shapes and sizes, and many places have different names for them – doner vs. gyro, for example. This dish is very specific to a small town in Nova Scotia called Halifax.
- Hawaiian Pizza. Did you know you have our neighbors to the North to thank for Hawaiian pizza? It’s true! Though it might not be my thing, I know plenty of people who just adore the salty and sweet combination of pineapple and bacon/ham.
10 MUST-TRY CANADIAN DESSERTS | FN DISH - FOOD NETWORK
From foodnetwork.com
Estimated Reading Time 7 mins
- Nanaimo Bar. Named after the city it was invented in (Nanaimo, British Columbia on the west coast of Canada), this no-bake dessert has been hailed as Canada’s most iconic treat.
- Butter Tarts. Step foot into Canada, specifically on the East Coast, and you will find butter tarts everywhere. From the best bakeries in town to the corner store, butter tarts are a Canadian obsession.
- Flapper Pie. This is a true prairie dessert. Ask someone from the east coast and they may not know what you are talking about. But a flapper pie is something of epic tastiness.
- Blueberry Grunt. This is a Maritime classic. The Atlantic provinces of Canada were home to French settlers who would cook blueberries, which were abundant in the area, in pots over open fires.
- Pouding Chomeur. One of the best names of any dessert, pouding chomeur translates from French to unemployed man puddling. Also known as poor man’s pudding, it was created during the Great Depression in Quebec by female factory workers.
- Saskatoon Berry Pie. Saskatoon berries look similar to blueberries but tend to be smaller, nuttier and sweeter... and ridiculously delicious. The berry (also known as the juneberry, and the prairie berry) can be found across North America but are predominant in the prairies of Canada.
- Tiger Tail Ice Cream. This frozen dessert is almost impossible to find outside of Canada. Orange ice cream is laced with ribbons of black licorice to create tiger-like stripes.
- Tarte Au Sucre (Sugar Pie) Originating from the province of Quebec, Canadians can thank their French heritage for tarte au sucre. Brown sugar was rare, so maple syrup was the most easily accessible sweetener for the early French settlers of Quebec.
- BeaverTails. This hand-stretched fried dough made to resemble the shape of a beaver tail topped with cinnamon sugar screams Canadiana. Hey, it is even named after the national animal of Canada.
- Sweet Bannock. This staple of the Indigenous of Canada is the ultimate comfort food. With Scottish roots (explorers used to cook fry bread on a griddle called a Bannock Stone), bannock was adapted to fit the Canadian lifestyle.

- Brown the ground pork and ground beef in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Break up any clumps with a heavy metal flipper, and continue cooking the meat until almost all of the fat has boiled off. While the meat is cooking, finely chop the onions and celery.
- Turn the heat to medium and add the onions, celery, beef broth, and spices. Peel and grate the potatoes and stir them into the mixture right away or they will turn a pinkish gray color.
- Cover the pot and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and stir, adjusting the seasonings as desired. Simmer for another 30 minutes, uncovered, until almost all of the liquid has evaporated. The filling should be thick and moist.
- Spoon the mixture into a large, shallow dish and allow the filling to cool to room temperature on the counter, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
23 TRADITIONAL CANADIAN FOODS YOU NEED TO TRY & WHERE …

- Poutine. Origin: Quebec. Where to eat it: Due to its surge in popularity, poutine can be found within most restaurants (including fast food franchises) in Quebec, Ontario, and the Maritimes.
- Saskatoon Berry Pie. Origin: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Where to eat it: Saskatoon or other Prairie provinces. With a sweet and nutty/almond-like flavour, Saskatoon berries are also referred to as “prairie berries” and while they look a lot like blueberries, they’re more closely related to apples.
- Peameal Bacon. Origin: Toronto, Ontario.

- Beavertails. Origin: Ontario. Where to eat it: BeaverTails locations all across Canada (and some in the U.S.A, too) Deep-fried dough that is stretched and resembles a flat donut, the beavertail’s origins go back to the 19 century when indigenous peoples of Canada would cook actual beaver’s tails over an open fire and eat the meat inside.
