    DIRECTIONS

  • In a large pan, fry the onions and garlic in the olive oil.
  • Add the pork and veal, then fry for 15 minutes while breaking up the ground meats. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the potatoes, spices, chicken broth and the maple syrup, then continue cooking for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and leave to cool. Set the tourtière filling aside.
  • Season the pork fillets with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, fry the fillets in butter over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes each side, to desired doneness. Remove from the pan and leave to cool. Set aside.
  • In a bowl, beat the egg with the milk. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 °F.
  • On a floured work surface, roll out the puff pastry to make two 50×25-cm (20×10-in) rectangles (1 base and 1 crust). Place one of the pastry rectangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Spread the tourtière filling on the pastry base, leaving a 2.5-cm (1-in) space from the edge. Then place the pork fillets end-to-end on top, and cover with the second pastry rectangle.
  • Brush the egg and milk mixture around the edges and seal the pastry.
  • Cut a few slits on the top of the tourtière, brush with the remaining egg and milk mixture, and then sprinkle with the maple sugar.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 180 °C (350 °F) and continue baking for a further 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and set aside while you prepare the red wine and maple vinegar sauce.
  • In a small pan, melt the butter and fry the shallots for 5 minutes. Add the flour, then add the remaining ingredients. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Reduce to a smooth consistency, then strain. Pour the sauce over slices of the maple-laced pork Wellington tourtière.
