Ingredients

• 500 g Ground pork
• 1 medium Onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 tsp Cinnamon
• 0.25 tsp Cloves, ground
• 0.5 tsp Allspice
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 120 ml Chicken or beef stock
• 50 g Breadcrumbs
• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets, thawed
• 1 large Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 10 g All-purpose flour (for rolling pastry)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the cinnamon, ground cloves, allspice, salt, and black pepper, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken or beef stock and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 5-6 minutes until the liquid has mostly reduced.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the breadcrumbs. Mix well to help the filling bind together. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 7

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one puff pastry sheet to smooth and slightly enlarge it. Cut it into 12 evenly sized squares. Repeat for the second puff pastry sheet.

Step 8

Place a small spoonful of the cooled pork filling in the center of each pastry square.

Step 9

Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal them. Use the tines of a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative look.

Step 10

Transfer the pastry triangles to the lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Step 12

Allow the tourtière nibbles to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
