Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon chicken bovril
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup water (more if needed)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon celery salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Place a large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat and melt the butter until fully liquefied.
-
Add the finely chopped onions and sauté for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and turn translucent.
-
Sprinkle in the chicken bovril, cinnamon, ground cloves, celery salt, and breadcrumbs. The breadcrumbs will help thicken the mixture and add texture. Stir well to evenly blend the ingredients.
-
Pour in the evaporated milk and water, mixing thoroughly to ensure everything is well combined.
-
As the mixture simmers, use a potato masher or meat chopper to break down the pork into a smoother consistency.
-
If the mixture appears too dry, add small amounts of water gradually to keep it moist.
-
Lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture cook for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. The goal is to achieve a rich, creamy texture as the flavors develop.
-
After 45 minutes, taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with a small amount of salt if needed.
-
Once the cooking time is up and the mixture has thickened, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
-
Transfer the Creton into jars or airtight containers and place them in the refrigerator. As it cools, the flavors will deepen, and the texture will continue to set.
