Cipaille Pot Pie
.jpg)
Pronounced 'sea pie' This is a traditional recipe that comes from The Gaspésie area. It is a pot pie that used to be made with wild meats and fowls. Nowadays, we make it with meats you find at the supermarket. A one pot meal so handy when you are serving a group.I found this recipe in a Recettes du Québec and adjusted it for us. My mother used to talk and make something like this; I wish she was around so I could get the exact recipe.
