Poutine Recipe

One of the absolute best things in the world to eat is poutine.

It has everything: savory deep flavors, hearty carbs, mountains of cheese, and gravy. It’s an absolute beast of a dish, in the best way. I have eaten so many poutines in my life and I don’t regret any of them.

Poutine is a classic Quebequois Canadian dish consisting of fries, fresh cheese curds, and gravy. It’s fairly newish, created in the 50s – it doesn’t really have a clear inventor, but there are tons of places who claim they invented it.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb frozen french fries ~ 1 bag
• 3 tbsp butter
• 3 tbsp all purpose flour
• 2 1/4 cups beef stock no sodium preferred
• 1 tbsp ketchup
• 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp cornstarch made into a slurry with 1 tbsp water
• 1.5 cups fresh cheese curds
