Recipe: The real tourtière du Lac
INGREDIENTS
1 ½ lb. chopped beef in large pieces
1 ½ lb. chopped pork in large pieces
1 ½ lb. chopped veal chunks
3 chopped chicken breasts in chunks
1/2 cup of beef Bovril
2 large chopped onions
Salt and pepper
Water
Tile potatoes (10 to 15 lbs)
DOUGH
1 pound of melted fat in a small pot - pour into a mixing bowl.
Add as much milk by trusting the mark that left the fat in the pot.
Then add:
3 cups of flour
6 tbsp. baking powder
2 tbsp. salt
WELL MIX WITH A DOUGH KNIFE (the kind of knife made in half-moon with several blades side by side).
Add 3 more cups of flour and WELL MIX WITH A DOUGH KNIFE.
Add flour if the dough is not firm enough.
PREPARATION
1- In a large bowl: combine the meat, Bovril, onions and season with salt and pepper to make the meat taste. Fill with water to cover the meat and mix. Leave in the fridge at least 4 hours.
2- Tile the potatoes: When I peel the potatoes, I put them in the lid in cold water so that they do not blush, I know if I have enough, I fill my lid with potatoes ¾ . Once peeled, I wash them properly and I put them in cold water, always in the lid and then I make my tiles.
3- Roll an immense rectangle of dough and place it in the bottom of the roasting pan so that the sides are covered with dough too.
4- Mix the potatoes and meat in the lid and empty everything in the bottom covered with dough. Add water so that everything is soaked.
5- Cover with another rectangle of dough so as to form a big pie. Make incisions on the top so that the steam is released.
6- Cover and place in preheated oven at 350 ° F on the bottom rack for one hour. Then reduce the oven to 250 ° F and cook, still covered, for at least 7 hours. After that, cook another hour at 300 ° F by removing the lid to brown the top.
Bon appétit!
