STEP-BY-STEP DIRECTIONS
: |
|
|
|
|
Cut the meat into cubes of 1/2
to 3/4 inch and place in a large
bowl.
Dice the onions
into small cubes and mix them
with the meat.
Combine
all the spices, and add half of
this mixture to the meat
preparation.
Cover and
let marinate for at least 2
hours (but no more than 12
hours) in the refrigerator.
The next day, peel and cut
the potatoes into cubes.
Add them to the meat mixture.
Place a layer of bacon at
the bottom of a thick ovenproof
dish (such as a Dutch oven).
Prepare the pie dough to
cover the bottom and sides of
the baking dish and to place on
top of the layered meat pie. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next, take the dish of meat,
pour it over the dough, and
cover the meat with another
layer of dough.
Poke a
small hole in the center of the
pie dough and pour in water
equal to the amount of meat.
Place a large carrot in the
hole to allow water circulation.
Cover and place in a
preheated oven at 325°F for 4
hours (keep an eye on it).
After 3 hours of cooking,
when the dough starts to turn
golden, remove the lid and lower
the oven temperature to 300°F
for about an hour, or until the
dough is perfectly browned.
Turn off the oven and let it
rest with the lid on.
The
final texture should not be
liquid. It is important to cook
until most of the liquid has
been absorbed by the meat and
the dough.
MY SECRET
It’s all about the
seasoning! Cipâte is often too
bland. Don’t hesitate to use
more rather than less. In my
recipe, I often add 4
tablespoons of seasoning to the
marinating meat.
The best
layered meat pie or cipaille in
Quebec or Canada..
