Memere's Creton (French Canadian Pork Patée) image

This was my favorite breakfast spread when I visited my grandparents as a child. I loved when my Memere made it because the entire house smelled so good. It is a French Canadian recipe. If you are French and from Canada, you must have tried this at one time.

Time 2h10m

Yield 2 1/2 cups, 40 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb ground pork
2 onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon clove
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup dry breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Combine the pork, onions, and garlic in a saucepan and cook over medium-low heat. Simmer, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, for about one hour.
  • Add the cinnamon, cloves, salt and pepper and continue simmering for about 20-30 minutes more.
  • Add bread crumbs and simmer for about 15 more minutes. (For a spicier mixture, more cinnamon or cloves may be added.).
  • Place a colander in the sink, and pour the creton mixture into it to drain off excess liquid.
  • Place the cooked creton in several small containers (such as empty margarine tubs or small bowls), packing the mixture down tightly.
  • Refrigerate. Serve cold as a spread for French bread or crackers.

This pâté is a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I'm not sure why, but my pâté turned out grainy. I think I might have over-processed the ingredients.

This pâté is a great make-ahead appetizer. I love that I can make it ahead of time and then just pop it in the oven when I'm ready to serve.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pâté turned out bitter. I think I might have used too much liver.
