MY MOM'S CRETONS (AKA GORTON) AND TOURTIERE



My Mom's Cretons (Aka Gorton) and Tourtiere image

There are as many recipes for Cretons as there are folks making it in Quebec. This recipe is my adaptation of my Family's recipe. Note; it does not contain milk.

Provided by Mike Pellerin

Categories     Breakfast

Time 3h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 lbs ground pork butt (or ground pork)
1 medium onion (chopped fine)
1 tablespoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon clove
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups water (you may not need it all)
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • If your meat is too lean, cut up 1/4-1/3 pound Salt Pork, and render into lardons. Remove the salt pork bits, then continue the recipe, omitting the salt. Do not use bacon for the extra fat, bacon is smoked. You can use Lard, 1-2 T, in a pinch.
  • Put all ingredients into a large sauce pot, just covering by an inch with the water.
  • Mix together.
  • Simmer on low, stirring frequently for 3-4 hours.
  • Add water as needed to keep moist and from sticking.
  • After the allotted cooking time you should have simmered the mixture down till there is about an inch of combined fat and water.
  • Taste to check the seasonings. If your spices are old, you may need to re-spice the mixture
  • (with the same amounts), then cook out the raw taste a bit.
  • Transfer to a bowl to cool, stirring to keep fat suspended in meat.
  • Serve warm on toast, or cold for sandwiches.
  • For Tourtiere mix the same mixture with 3 0r 4 mashed (dry) potatoes,
  • allowing them to suck up the moisture.
  • Allow to cool, and ladle into pre-pared pie crusts.
  • Egg wash and bake to specifications.

MOM'S FRENCH CANADIAN CRETONS



Mom's French Canadian Cretons image

This is a traditional french canadian staple. You eat this on toast of choice, it's a high protein very nutritional breakfast favourite. I've been eating cretons since I was a child and everytime I visit my parents, my mother always makes this (one of my favourite dishes) for my husband! I try to make this dish as lean as possible using a combination of turkey and pork, if no turkey than chicken is good also. Portions on the meat is 2 to 1 and doesn't matter if you use more pork than turkey or visa versa, the outcome is always just a good as the last!

Time 3h15m

Yield 3 1lb - 10 servings from each 1lb container, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lbs ground pork
1 lb ground turkey or 1 lb chicken
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon canola oil or 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, with1 tblsp olive oil mixed
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon clove
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon sage
salt
black pepper
allspice
breadcrumbs
boiling water

Steps:

  • On medium high heat brown pork and turkey in the oil and olive oil mix. Using this mix the meat cooks at a higher temperature without burning the oil. While browning add onions and minced garlic; once browned add garlic powder, cloves, cinnamon, and sage, cover the top of meat mixture with salt (I prefer seasalt or kosher) and same, twice around the pot with pepper (preferrably fresh ground). Mix the meat and seasonings and add in boiling water to meat mixture, enough to cover the top. Bring to boil, lower to simmer about 3hrs. or until water is reduced to almost nothing. approximately half way through cooking process adjust your mixture with alspice, no more than a teaspoon should be required. I go by taste. Now to properly adjust the mixture for spreading purposes add in enough bread crumbs to absorb the remaining liquid in the pot. Using a hand blender puree meat mixture. Divide into containers and let cool before freezing or putting in fridge. yeilds 3-4lbs. Enjoy!
