Chef John, I'm glad to hear that you recognize the quality of Canadian ballet performances. I don't know where these other fellows got the idea that the specific type of dance performance was related to strip clubs but I know better. Was it the Nutcracker you went to see?
seems pretty authentic to me , i could smell the beer and tarte au sucre for desert …..but no cayenne of course , and celery was too expensive so i think diced carrots may have been included
All spice and ground cloves are absolutely essential in a tourtière. In my family we do our tourtieres with ground pork instead of beef but still I find that you knocked that one out of the park. Cheers from Quebec!
I realize this is an older episode but that is one fine looking Montreal tourtiere! 😋 IMHO adding ketchup is a travesty (but a bit of HP sauce is the way to go😁
Thank you so much for your excellent job explaining every detail of making this wonderful pie. Although I do have a great deal of difficulty listening to you with your constant inflections while you are speaking. it would have been also nice if you told us how much of each spice to use. Thank you.
Tourtiere is our xmas Eve tradition. We have it with a muesli salad with toasted walnuts and warmed herbed panko coated goat cheese slices. The maple balsamic dressing on the greens shouts…..we love Canada and our food and pairs perfectly with the pie and a glass of red 🍷.
I did 4 yesterday, excellente recette ! Gave 2 to my sons and their mom. The pleasure of cooking is to make those you love happy. Merci Chef John. Hi from Québec !
My nana's Tourtiere was always one of the best things at our annual Christmas potluck–I had no idea there was potatoes mixed in with the meat! I always wondered why it was so moist and delicious. I'm sure mine will never beat my nana's but I'm excited to give it a go.

youre talking tempo is disturbing.
Be-OO-te-full!!! (That’s Beautiful in real talk!)
John it's getting to the point where I do a chef john voiceover whilst I'm cooking. I haven't said 'freshly ground black pepper' properly in years.
Congratulations French people. You put a meatloaf into a pie!
É uma empadinha de Carne moida , parabéns ta linda, e parece deliciosa!!!
We have a similar kind of traditional meat pie in Finland called peltilihapiirakka. It’s baked flat on an oven sheet. Extremely tasty
Now! How do I make this crust with no food processor? Hmmm…
Everything needs cayenne
I have had the moose meat version of this and I was pleasantly surprised…
We serve ours with onion relish and braised red cabbage as sides.

Merci beaucoup!

While cooking the onions, would one add sugar ?
My Mum was French Canadian – this is NOT how you make Tourtiere! Absolutely not!
The cadence of his voice used to drive me crazy, but he's such a funny guy and the food is all so good that i am past it!
I'd add some cooked diced carrots along with the potatoes.
lol great opening.

Oh you probably went north for poutine as well, to go with those beers.

Just had leftover Tortierre for lunch!

I would love this without the spices lol
Beautiful crust,😍😍
Would love to see your take on Sausage and Spinach Pie.

This sounds like a flattened pork pie… 🧐
YUMMY!!!
Paul Smith's?
Who accidentally read this as ‘Torture meat pie’?
Dang .. must have skipped over the "let cool" part the first time.
Well, we'll see if it is still edible when you use hot filling for the pie.
This reminds me of a Jamaican beef patty filling, just in a Pie Form. Or am I Wrong?
That looks so so good my goodness
You must’ve been in Plattsburgh
