Tourtiere - ep.5 - Serge's Christmas Special! French-ie Cuisine

[@jaduvalify]

This is a gem of a video! If more people see this video you will be famous! This is the best tourtiere recipe I have found! I love French Canadian foods. I will look through your videos for pet de souer, cretons, and poutine. Excellent video! Great presentation!

[@Chefsergebelair]

Thanks for the kind words, fingers cross 🤞 to be famous..lol

[@annrivard8035]

Pet de soeur they are real good 😋 and so easy. You rolls out the left over pie dought as if you were to make a pie , once you have it rolled out you spread butter on it and then you spreed brun sugar on the butter . Then you roll it as if it was cinanon rolls and you cut as also as cinanon rolls 😅 lie them on the side so you see the rolls and put à little bit of heavy creme on top . Put in the pre heated oven 350 for about 30 minutes enjoy it is so good

I’m all in with Serge, tourtiere without ketchup is unthinkable.

[@lenom1289]

It's a sin!! 🫣

[@shuvmesumknowlegde]

I never use condiments on anything let alone a meat pie. I like the taste of the pie too much.

[@sibealmccourt7155]

What a find! Serge is so entertaining and talented. I am subscribing immediately. I love your humour and practicality. Best of luck on your site and I’m following you as of now!

[@conniemalloy8494]

Ketchup a must!! The realist Quebec tortiere recipe! Can't wait to make some

[@Chefsergebelair]

Yes chef!!!

[@xKyrui]

Finally! The recipe is released! I've been waiting 4 years!

[@Curlyblonde]

The dog has been patient and well-behaved despite the irresistible temptations of his favorite food paraded in front of him during the creation of this great meal. He deserves some of this meal too!

[@Chefsergebelair]

Right 😂

[@catherinemartina6469]

Bonjour Serge. I tried the tourtière recipe to day for Christmas. It was great. And the Roux...I haven't seen it done like that, I tried it and it was fantastic...thank you so much. I've put your recipe in my family cook book...merci boucoup

[@Chefsergebelair]

Wow , this is a great compliment, merci mille fois Catherine!!

[@lisablinn3264]

I had not scene that either! I wondered how some tortiere had a gravy but mine didn't. The secret has been revealed with the roux!

[@Lstn2urmama]

Am so glad to see ithers use what MOTHER NATURE gave us to make us of ... this the time when I do all my meatballs trays to chill Faster for freezer ...

[@jamespanama]

Loved this video!❤️ I just subscribed to see more of Serge! Knowledgeable and with great humour! ❤

[@Sunshn63]

I love that you show to use what you have and improvise. I really love that you use the great outdoors as your freezer. I do the exact same thing and sit it in the snow. I cover the top though so no animals get in it. My mom was French Acadian and she always made cinnamon rolls out of the left over dough. I can't wait to try this!

[@Chefsergebelair]

I am glad you are embracing the outdoors as a freezer. Let's all be smart, and save energy..

Thanks friend, you just made my day ❤️

[@donitaforrest9064]

I live in Saguenay, Quebec and my son-in-law's name is Serge. I have watched many tourtiere videos, but i think you made the best authentic one. I would definitely enjoy eating the dinner you prepared, given the opportunity.

[@Chefsergebelair]

Wow, thank you!, c'est la meilleur tourtiere , because it's my mama's...

[@cathymerkel5315]

So delicious. My Mom made this every Christmas and now I do too. Hers was delicious but I always knew it could be elevated a bit and this is perfect!!! Thank you

C'est magnifique!!

[@donnazukadley7300]

We always used ketchup too! Ironically my pepere put ketchup on crepes and that's my favorite way to eat them!

[@hossenfeffer8383]

Awesome video!

[@Agapy8888]

This is a great combination of the tourtierre. I eat only meat so I don’t add potatoes and make it without dough. My son went hunting in November and got a deer. Venison, pork and beef. Used a crust of cheese and baked it.

[@Chefsergebelair]

That is an interesting twist!

[@Agapy8888]

@ Yes.

[@paulgagnon9830]

Je suis venu pour la tourtière et je repars avec les carottes!! De très bonnes recettes, merci!

[@Chefsergebelair]

Merci!!!

[@lisablinn3264]

Reminds me of when my Aunt Norma would make tortiere. She was talented at making flakey pie crusts too! I could hear how light and flakey your pastry was when you cut into it. My sister loves tortiere and didn't have any for Christmas this year so I will be making this meal for her birthday dinner at the end of the month. Yum!

[@shortsweettoo]

Excellent video. My mom always made Tourtiere for Christmas. Now that she is gone, the table doesn't seem the same anymore. I got to your recipe a bit too late, but thinking next year I will give your recipe a go. Thank you. Appreciated.

[@SandiBee-rf3te]

I made my tourtiere today, pretty much as usual (quite similar to yours) BUT used your method of thickening with beurrre manie and adding the cubed potatoes at the end. GAME CHANGER! It really does give the filling a silky smooth finish and flavour. Thanks for this!

[@Chefsergebelair]

Lovely idea!

[@DaughterOfDaddy-O]

Looks delicious! That tool you grabbed is called a pastry blender. I don’t have one so last year when I made my tourtière, I had to blend the butter and flour with two knives. It took so long. You’ve reminded me to buy a pastry blender before I made my tourtière this Christmas.

[@AndiS-dz4pq]

I just love the herb/spice combination in your tourtière. My mom’s pie was barely spiced. We ate ours with an onion béchamel sauce on top when served. I’m going to try your recipe minus the foi gras.

No foie gras for me. Ruthless practice: Yes, I eat meat, but not from forced-feed animals with bloated livers. If we did this to humans it would be a crime against humanity.

[@CCGG-w3b]

Oh la la! Les gens du Lac ne doivent pas écouter ca parce qu’ils vont hurler que c’est un pâté à la viande, pas une tourtière!!! Mais on s’en fout (je suis de Montréal): peu importe comment on l’appelle, c’est bon!! 🤤😋

[@marthasmith4855]

Oh how I 'wish' there were measurements that did not have to be converted!! I watched your video which was excellent and was excited to try this recipe, but I can't do the conversions to cups, tsps, etc. Thanks anyway, I am sure your tourtiere is amazing but I will have to find a recipe that I can follow.

You can ask alexa , she's pretty accurate for conversion.. also a scale is one of the most essential tools in the kitchen.. ask Santa for one this year

Tourtière is also a french Canadian specialty that comes from the 18th century but it contains a mix of different meats (pork, beef, faisant etc) with potatoes in a thick crust baked up to 5 hours. No cinnamon or all spices. This we call eat meat pie

[@kuganpillay7902]

Hi Chef, I have a few questions.. Can we use only beef instead of beef and pork? Can you suggest something? Any other substitute for foie gras?

[@Chefsergebelair]

Absolutely, only beef works perfectly, to substitute the foie you could add little chunk of cook beef short rib or smoke meat, it's definitely not the same but it definitely upgrade the pie and you will end up with less fat from the foie gras..Let me know how it turns out!

[@BarbRobinson-y8b]

I really think you are a delight when you cook and your tortiere is so delicious. This is my second year to make it. My queston is: I like to make it ahead of time so I completely bake it , freeze or refrigerate and then reheat in the oven on the day I am serving. Would you suggest refrigerating before baking and then simply baking at suggested temperature and time the day of family dinner OR baking completely and then reheating at a 300 F oven for about an hour? thanks! and Merry Christmas! Joyeux Noel!

[@Chefsergebelair]

Definitely, a day old tourtiere taste event better.. 300 re-heat is perfect for like 25 minutes

[@jrgioia]

I made the ketchup to go with my vegan tourtière this year. It was amazing, thank you!

[@cookiegirl2cookie197]

Foie Gras not available in my area (don't think I could afford it even if it was) what can I substitute, if anything?

Please just omit it ir add more meat, foie gras is very difficult to substitute, happy cooking

Ma grand maman n’ajoutait jamais de pomme de terre. Im not doubting “Tourtiere” recipes w potato but I find it too similar to the “English Meat Pie” or other “Meat Pie” recipe variation. Seams like most colonized country have their own “Meat Pie” variation. (different seasoning, w peas, carrots, potatoes or not).
