A big Dutch oven coming out of the oven with a golden crust, juices bubbling up through the hole in the middle, and the smell of meat, spices and maple bacon filling the whole house. That’s cipaille. Meats marinated overnight, potatoes, apples, two layers of homemade pastry and three hours in the oven. It’s the dinner for Christmas Eve, hunting season and the holidays, and it easily feeds a crowd!<\/p>\n
It was my first time making a cipaille. A Le Coup de Gr\u00e2ce follower lent me her recipe, and I adapted it to the one I already had. Thank you! The star is venison, which you can find at the butcher. With beef cubes, it’s super good too. And I added duck breast, because duck is absolutely delicious in there.<\/p>\n
Depending on the region of Quebec, it’s called cipaille, cip\u00e2te or six-p\u00e2tes. The word comes from the English “sea-pie”, the sailors’ pie. My cipaille is built in two layers: meat, apples and potatoes, a sheet of pastry right in the middle, then more meat and a second sheet of pastry on top. That middle layer of pastry is what sets it apart from a tourti\u00e8re.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
