FRENCH STYLE PATE CHINOIS
I like this dish because it is easy to prepare and it can be frozen. My mother used to serve this dish with a pie crust covering the top but I prefer without.

SHEPHERD'S PIE (PATE CHINOIS)
This is the my family's French Canadian version of Shepherds pie, which we call Pate Chinois. It's easy to make, cheap and very delicious. Serve with a nice loaf of crusty bread.

Tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are cold before starting. This will help prevent the dough from becoming too sticky.
- Work the dough quickly and lightly. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with.
- Use a light touch when rolling out the dough. Rolling it out too thin will make it difficult to fold.
- Be careful not to overfill the pastries. Too much filling will make them difficult to seal.
- Bake the pastries until they are golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
