CHURER FLEISHTORTE/ MEAT PIE FROM CHUR
Deciding to make this meat pie from Chur was one of the many best decisions I had ever made in life. I love meat. I love pie. You put the two together and you get lots of love. I’m not kidding though, this meat pie was REALLY good. Meat pie from Chur is a traditional Swiss dish and it appear in almost all the Swiss cantons. This meat pie from Chur is from The Swiss cookbook by Niki Standen Hazelton. It is the Grisons version as eaten in Chur, the canton’s capital, a ravishing medieval mountain town. I’ve never been there though, however, I’d imagine what a beautiful place it will be. Can you just close your eyes and imagine eating this meat pie while enjoying the alps ?
