Ingredients

3 onions, chopped 600 g
5 cloves garlic, chopped
3 tbsp olive oil 45 mL
460 g ground pork, lean
460 g ground veal, lean
1 cup gluten-free crumbs 130 g
2 tsp ground coriander 5 g
1 tsp allspice powder [optional] 3 g
1 tbsp salt 14 g
ground pepper to taste [optional]
2 cups chicken broth, low-sodium, or veal 500 mL
1 cup rice beverage, unsweetened, fortified 250 mL
1 cup water 250 mL

Before you start

A blender or food processor will be very useful.

Method

  1. Sauté the onions and garlic in olive oil. Add the meats, breadcrumbs, spices, salt and pepper. Stir and cook over low heat.
  2. When the meat changes color, add the liquids. Simmer over very low heat for at least 3 hours. The liquid will have almost entirely disappeared.
  3. Remove from heat and mix in the blender for 1 minute. If you want creamier cretons, blend for longer.
