Chez Summers - Tortiere au Porc

Chez Summers - Tortiere au Porc

Having zero confidence in making any type of pastry but really wanting to taste this recipe I found in a Bon Apetit, it was with hardened nerves I set forth to attempt a tortiere!

The main ingredients are braised pork shoulder, ground pork, shredded potato and mushroom. Some stock and wine were added along with some thyme, bay leaf, black pepper and salt.

The salad was kept simple to contrast the tart; arugula, cherry tomatoes, red onion and shaved parmesan with olive oil and balsamic.

PS - just made the name up, if my French isn't accurate at least it makes the point, although the recipe was titled - tortiere of "something"

What do you get when you combine a 3-lb pork shoulder roasted for 5 hours (to make an amazing pozole), some delicious craft beers and then bourbon from New York City's oldest operating whiskey distillery? HAPPINESS!
