As you probably know by know, I live in Quebec Canada, and poutine is a dish that originated here in Quebec Canada. This dish consist of french fries, topped with curds cheese and gravy. It’s not the healthiest meal, but its comfort food at its best. If it was for my husband, we would be having poutine every night for supper, but don’t worry, this is a treat that we only have once in a while.
Cut and soak potatoes in water for at least 30 minutes to 24 hours.
In a medium pot, melt butter at medium heat.
Add flour and garlic, stir and continue cooking for 2 minutes.
Add beef consommé, bring heat up to medium high and bring to a boil stirring continuously.
Mix cornstarch with 1/2 cup of water and add to pot. Let simmer until gravy thickens.
Add ketchup, sugar, parsley, cayenne pepper, garlic, salt and pepper and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Drain fries and add to serving plates. Top each portion of fries with 1/2 cup of curds cheese and gravy.
Just by looking at the picture and writing this post, my mouth is watering. My husband is like the king of poutine, every new restaurant he goes to, he has to try their poutine. So from a chip stand to a gourmet restaurant, he has tried a lot of poutine’s, but this is the best poutine he’s had so far. Yes, it’s that good!!!
Beef consommé? I’ve never heard of such thing before! Have to check it out!
It’s like a more concentrated beef broth.
My teens favorite food. I have not made it for him but if we go out he has to have it.guess its time to try my hand at it.
He will love that one I’m sure.
I know so many people who love Poutine, and there are even poutine shops near me. But I just cannot get myself to like it!
Real poutine from a true Canadian! I live in the Detroit-area and we are able to go into Canada and get the real thing, but I never thought about trying to make my own….I might have to give this a try!
Oh my – that looks absolutely amazing! I will have to try this recipe.
