Ingredients:
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 tbsp. butter
- 1 trio of minced meats (beef, pork and veal)
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 stalk of celery, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
- 1 cup of organic chicken stock - Viandes biologiques de Charlevoix
- 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1 c. à thé d’épices à tourtière (ou plus au goût)
- Freshly ground salt and pepper
- 6 pie shells (deep-dish format)
- 1 egg, beaten
How to proceed:
- Préchauffer le four à 375 F.
- In a pot, bring water to a boil and cook potatoes for 20 minutes or until tender. Mash with a potato masher and add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- In a skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat and cook the trio of meats, onion, celery and garlic for 5 minutes.
- Ajouter le bouillon, la moutarde de Dijon et les épices à tourtière. Saler et poivrer au goût. Mijoter à feu moyen-vif pendant 5 minutes ou jusqu’à ce que le liquide soit presque entièrement absorbé.
- Déposer les pommes de terre dans le fond de deux abaisses de pâte. Ajouter la garniture de viandes.
- Brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg and add a layer. Seal well with your fingers or a fork. With a knife, make small incisions in the centre of the tourtières to allow for ventilation.
- Brush pies with beaten egg and place in oven for 45 minutes or until golden brown.

For dishes that are a bit rustic, such as tourtière and meatball stew, you want a wine that has body without drying out the tannins.
An Italian wine like Chianti will be their ideal companion. Don't hesitate to taste other countries too! Look for the pastille Fruité et généreux at the SAQ.
Enjoy your meal!
