Tourtiere · Montreal

Tourtiere is a French-Canadian meat pie from Quebec made with minced pork, veal or beef and potatoes. The Montreal version uses finely ground pork seasoned with cinnamon and cloves.

Tourtiere is a traditional part of the Christmas reveillon and New Year's Eve meal in Quebec. Its name comes from the pie dish, not from the passenger pigeon, as is often claimed. The Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean version is a slow-cooked deep pie of small cubes of meat and potato, while the Montreal version is made with finely ground pork only.
