 |
|
I'm looking for a Canadian recipe for Creton. I had it when I was a kid. My best friends family came from Canada and always gave my family some when they made it. Later I was able to buy it in a local French grocer.
Now I need to make my own as the one available at the supermarket has too much allspice.

I have a premium membership on that site! I have that one already, but it's not quite the same.
Thanks |

Here is one that I have used. Emeril's sounds good but I have never had Creton with ginger in it or cinnamon for that matter. Okay nor have I seen it cooked with milk yet always has been stock of some sort.
Pulse 2 lbs boneless fatty pork shoulder cut into 1 in pieces and 1/4 lb fresh pork fat cut into 1 in pieces together in 2 batches in a food processor until finely ground(I have just used coarse ground pork from grocer and pulsed that instead). Be careful not to grind to a smooth paste. Transfer to a 2 - 2 1/2 quart heavy saucepan. Add 1 cup stock(chicken works but I use pork as I have a supply of pork bones to use) 1 large onion finely chopped ( 1 cup ), 3 garlic cloves finely chopped, 2 Turkish Bay leaves, or 1 California, 2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp ground allspice. Bring to a boil, stirring to break up clumps. Reduce heat, and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until meat is tender, and liquid is still visible below surface of meat, 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours. Discard bay leaf from pot. Spoon into 5 X 8 oz ramekins with a slotted spoon. Spoon remaining liquid over pork. Place a small round of wax paper on top of each ramekin, and chill until firm. You could use a loaf pan for serving.
You could omit the allspice all together if you wish. It tastes good without too.

THIS IS IT! Thank you...I never thought I would find it. I now I haven't even tried it yet, but I'd bet anything this is the one. Don't ask me how I know....*I* don't know how I know! Weird, isn't it?
