Québec Cretons - Pork Paté Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by JimMac

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound ground pork
2 tablespoons bacon fat
1 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
Beef stock or whole milk

Steps:

  • Place an appropriately-sized sauce pan over medium heat. When pan is hot, add 1 tablespoon bacon fat and gently fry the ground pork until cooked through. While the pork cooks use a fork to keep crumbling it. Add the onion, garlic, spices, salt and pepper and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions and garlic are soft and translucent. Lower the heat to a low simmer and continue to cook for about an hour. If mixture starts to dry out add beef stock or milk to keep it at a very-thick-sauce consistency. Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool. If needed add beef stock or whole milk so the mixture seems just spreadable. Put the mixture in a food processor and process until fine and granular but not pasty. Place the mixture into a glass or ceramic container and add a small layer of bacon fat over the top to seal and add extra flavor. Refrigerate until needed. Serve on crackers as a snack, toast for a hearty breakfast or with mustard as a sandwich for lunch.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The cretons were flavorful and had a nice texture. I would make them again, but I would use less cayenne pepper.
