Pyes of Paris



Recipe by Daniel Myers

There is a hint of "sweet-and-sour" to this recipe that comes from the combination of dried fruits, sugar, and wine. This works well with the pork and veal, both being lightly flavored meats, but probably wouldn't work with beef.


Ingredients

3/4 lbs. pork
3/4 lbs. veal
2 cups broth
1 cup white wine
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup chopped dates
1/4 cup currants
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. ginger



Method

Cut veal and pork into small, bite-sized pieces. Place in a large pot with broth and wine and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 20 minutes, skimming off any scum that forms on the surface. Remove meat and place into a bowl along with 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Add remaining ingredients, mix well, and place into pie crust. Bake at 350°F until crust is golden - about one hour. Serve hot.
