Ingredients
For the poutine
- 2 pounds French fries deep-fried and drained (if frozen, cooked per package instructions)
- 1 cups cheese curds or more
- garnishes optional. I used sliced green onions, but chopped parsley, fresh sage, thyme, etc are also great.
For the gravy
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 2 ½ cups beef broth
- 1 ¼ cups chicken broth
- ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
For the poutine
- Layer fries on a serving platter.
- Sprinkle fries with the curds (you may have to separate the curds first).
- Add lots of gravy and garnish as desired.
For the gravy
- Dissolve the cornstarch in the water in a small bowl or glass.
- Melt the butter in a large sauce pan.
- Whisk in the flour and continue cooking, whisking often, for 5 minutes or until the flour has turned golden brown.
- Add the garlic, stir and cook another 30 seconds.
- Whisk in the beef and chicken broths (careful when first starting to add the broths as the mixture will steam a bit. Keep your hands and face back.)
- Bring mixture to a boil then reduce to a simmer and continue simmering, whisking constantly, for 5 minutes or until the gravy is thickened.
- Add pepper to taste and stir and serve.
