PATE CHINOIS

Pate Chinois image

Pate Chinois is similar to the British recipe Shepherd's Pie, but it's from the Quebec region of Canada. Pate Chinois translates to 'Chinese Pie', though it's not completely certain why it adopted that title. Some claim that it's because Chinese cooks introduced the recipe during the building of the railroads in North America...

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.
