This has nothing to do with
This has nothing to do with a Cipâte. First thing : cipâte is not a Canadian meal but a Québécois meal. Secondo :There is no
carrot, celery, rosemary or wine in the original recipe.Tertio: cipâte is not served with a sauce but with a home made catsup. Cipâte is a traditional dish and should be prepared the traditional way. If you want to invent a new recipe, by all means, go for it, but if you are calling it a traditional meal, then follow the tradition. Research a little before posting it on the web. What about a coq au vin without wine or a poutine without curd cheese !
I agree
My family is quebecoise as well- that recipe does not resemble cipate at all...nutmeg is a no-no, as well as the rosemary, wine, carrots and celery. Potatoes are an absolute must- one of the main ingredients in cipate. and the pastry should not be a pie pastry, but actually a crust made with flour, fat and baking powder
