Colette's Tourtiere

Tourtiere is a savoury double crusted meat pie that originated in Quebec and made it's way onto our dinner table from a dear family friend Colette way back in the 1980's.  Colette shared the family recipe that came from her home town in St. Hubert, Quebec and it quickly became one of our favourites.  This dish is full of flavour and the perfect addition to any table on a cold snowy day, share it with your loved ones and warm them up ... from the inside out!  Throw in a card game of canasta, some star wars figures and cabbage patch dolls and you have a Winter's afternoon in Kingston, circa 1983!!!
