This is an older post from the Cooking Forum. I tried this recipe and it is delicious, exactly like what I recall eating in Montreal but I was surprised about the microwave...no matter it works! Notice Monique, the author of the recipe, says she likes it with mustard!

-----------------------------------------------------------

I've never seen this outside of Quebec. A month or so ago Monique posted the recipe over on the CF... I was so surprised. I was also surprised to see she made it in the microwave! Subsequent to that Lee (from Denver) made the recipe and raved about it....so I tried it.

Ces't manifique Monique, merci !

Cretons Rapides Au Micro-Ondes - posted by Monique from Quebec

1 Lb ground pork
1 Cup of milk
8 crushed soda crackers
1 finely chopped onion
minced garlic cloves
1/4 Tsp of cinnamon
1/8 Tsp ground cloves
1/8 TSP GINGER
1 Tsp salt
1/4 Tsp of pepper herbs if desired

Put all ingredients in a microwave safe dish..mix well.
Cook at high for 5 mins. Mix again Cook another 5 mins Mix again Cook 3 more mins.
Mix and let rest 6 mins. Now.. a lot of people put this mixture in the food processor..we like it more rustic..as is..I pack it in pretty ramekins.
I also add a bit more cinnamon..Let me know..I hope you like them. With Mustard on top ..I favor them:)
They actually freeze quite well also. Dills will be divine alongside :)~

Good luck!

Lee's notes were that she "upped" the spices.

1 lb ground pork (I use 80/20)
allspice to taste
salt
pepper
1 sm onion finely chopped

put in all in small pot, barely cover with water and boil for at least 1 hour add small amounts of water to keep moist. After hour taste add more allspice till you obtain the favor you like. Chill for a couple of hours till firm.
