Recipe Reviews

These are miniature versions of the savoury meat pie from Quebec, made with ground pork filling seasoned with savoury, cinnamon and cloves and baked in flaky puff pastry.

For this version, the minced meat is slowly simmered with aromatics, herbs and spices before being combined with mashed potatoes. The meat was very moist and flavourful as a result and the filling easy to work with after it had been briefly chilled.

This recipe makes 48 cocktail portions but I found that the pastry to filling ratio is too high when I made them that size – I think phyllo might be a better choice when they’re that small. This time, I made 16 turnovers, more of a snack or light lunch size, and the ratio was much better. Great served hot or cold.
