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 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.
