Deer Meat Pie in a Primitive Clay Oven | What's with the Banjo?

Description

#cooking #deer #wildgame

Using meat from a whitetail deer I harvested with my bow, I make deer meat pie in the primitive earthen oven that I made with clay cob. Meat pie baked with the spices that I used is a traditional Quebec French recipe that dates back hundreds of years and was common in my family as my grandmother (my dad's mother) was French and lived on the the east coast of Canada. It is called "tourtiere" or "tortiere", named after the cooking vessel that it was baked in. Before bed in the log cabin, I open up the book that I learned how to play the banjo from when I was a kid and I start from page one, practicing cords and finger picking to see if I can get back to where I left off 30 years ago. I played banjo and guitar for about 7 years each when I was young. I played the guitar on and off over the years, but I haven't picked up the banjo in far too long to remember much of what I learned.

The recipe for the tourtiere filling is as follows, although I made a lot of changes to suit my taste and availability of ingredients.

2 lbs venison, 1 cup of bread crumbs, 2 mushrooms, 1 onion, 1 bud of garlic, fresh sage, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, pepper, 3 cloves. Cook the meat thoroughly first and then put it in the pie crust and bake until the crust is golden.

that is really good so difference I guess between a torch a in a regular meat pie that you would buy the store I think it's probably the spices I go into it traditionally it's traditionally made with pork in Quebec but I always make it with game sometimes if I have pork I'll mix half-and-half so half deer removes or bear with half pork it doesn't really matter cuz you're adding so many spices I can taste some of the venison in there which I I like so the main spice that really hits your tongue is the sage and the nutmeg and the cinnamon combined and the clove and there's salt and pepper and garlic and onion and stuff like that in there too but there was a real Christmasy smells and Christmassy flavors really come out in this thing so for Callie I just cooked some plain venison with nothing else in it so that's what she ate tonight this will last me probably a couple of days only two for breakfast too
