This week on the show, Heather makes a family-favourite, a Tourtière Canadienne. This delicious French-Canadian meat pie is something we enjoy at Christmas, but you can make it any time you like. 

Heather combined a couple of recipes -- one from the cookbook, Eat Alberta First (Karen Anderson), and a recipe handed down to her by her mom. This recipe, which you can find on our website (link below!), makes two full pies. If you don't want to eat two full pies, you can prep one and freeze it to bring out later (just thaw before baking). 

The key to a Tourtière, in our opinion, is the spice combination: 

  • ground cinnamon
  • ground cloves
  • celery salt
  • dried summer savoury
  • salt
  • white pepper
  • freshly ground black pepper

One other note about a fantastic Tourtière is the pie crust. Heather made this one with lard and even Erin, pie baker extraordinaire, thought it was a damn good pie crust. We call this a win all around!
