Deconstructed Tourtière des Lacs-Saint-Jean (Keto Meat and Vegetable Bowl)
Yes, with a tweak: omit the traditional pastry crust and potatoes. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Canadian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A deconstructed version of the hearty Lacs-Saint-Jean Tourtière, a specific Québécois meat pie traditionally featuring cubed mixed meats (pork, beef, sometimes game) and spices. Served as a savory meat and vegetable bowl, omitting the crust and potatoes, replacing them with a low-carb root vegetable puree.
Key ingredients
Ground pork, ground beef, game meat (optional), onions, garlic, savory spices (cloves, allspice), beef broth, cauliflower puree, butter, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, omit the traditional pastry crust and potatoes. Request a base of cauliflower or rutabaga puree instead of potatoes.
Watch out for
The traditional dish contains both pastry and potatoes. Ensure these are completely omitted and not replaced with high-carb alternatives. Some spices blends can contain hidden sugars or starches.
