Tourtiere (Pork Pie)

1. 1

   Cook pork in a medium pan, stirring to break up any clumps. Add potatoes, seasonings, and all but a tbsp of the water and simmer for 10 minutes. Dissolve cornstarch in the remaining water and add to the pan, stirring until thickened. Simmer uncovered for another 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Preheat oven to 425F.

3. 3

   Line an eight-inch pie pan with pastry. Pour in filling and cover with the remaining pastry. Pinch the edges in a fluted design or use a fork to press together. Prick the top to allow steam to escape.

4. 4

   Bake the pie for 10, reduce the heat to 350F and bake another 40 to 50 minutes until pastry is deep brown and crisp.
