Gluten Free Cretons
Cretons is a traditional Quebecois meat pate, commonly served on toast for breakfast. This is my recipe for a homemade, gluten free version.
Servings: 10 - 2 lbs of pate
Calories: 275kcal
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Ground Pork
- 1 Large Onion finely chopped
- 2 Garlic Cloves pressed
- ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon Ground Cloves
- ¼ teaspoon Allspice
- ¼ teaspoon Ground Ginger
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 Bay Leaf
- 1 teaspoon Dried Parsley
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large pan, mash together pork, onion, garlic, and spices. Add milk a little at a time, stirring to create a runny paste. Add bay leaf.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until almost all of the milk is absorbed/cooked off. Add parsley, stir well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer cretons to a storage dish with a lid, as-is.. or put in the food processor and puree for a finer texture. Chill well, stir before serving for the first time.
- Store in the fridge for up to a week.
