Poutine Recipe

Poutine is a classic Canadian dish that originated in Quebec. It consists of French fries topped with cheese curds and smothered in gravy. Poutine is a popular comfort food in Canada and is often enjoyed as a hearty snack or meal.

• Ingredients:

• Preparation:

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into French fry shapes. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch.
2. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 180°C (350°F). Fry the potatoes in batches until they are golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
3. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to make a roux, and cook for 1-2 minutes.
4. Gradually whisk in the broth, making sure there are no lumps. Cook the gravy until it thickens, about 5-10 minutes. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper.
5. To assemble the poutine, place a layer of French fries on a plate. Sprinkle cheese curds over the fries, then ladle gravy over the top.
6. Serve the poutine hot, allowing the cheese curds to melt slightly from the heat of the gravy.
