POUTINE



Poutine image

Provided by Chuck Hughes

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 to 8 large Yukon gold potatoes, peeled
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for frying
1 shallot, minced
1 small clove garlic, minced
2 cups chicken stock
2 cups beef stock
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon whole green peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cups cheddar cheese curds

Steps:

  • Slice the potatoes lengthwise, about 1/4 inch thick. Stack the slices and cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick sticks (or cut the potatoes into fries using a french fry cutter). Place in a large bowl filled with cold water and let sit at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours for extra-crispy fries. Drain well and pat dry or spin dry in a salad spinner.
  • Make the gravy: Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken and beef stock, ketchup, vinegar, peppercorns and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the flour and make a roux, stirring until slightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk the stock mixture into the roux and simmer until reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Season the gravy with salt and pepper and keep warm.
  • Line a baking sheet with a double layer of paper towels. Heat 2 to 3 inches vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F (or use a deep fryer). Fry the potatoes in small batches until whitish yellow, about 8 minutes. Remove with a strainer and drain on the paper towels. Bring the oil temperature to 375 degrees F over high heat. Fry the potatoes in batches again until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain on fresh paper towels. Salt and pepper the fries while hot. Strain the gravy.
  • Put the fries in shallow dishes; top with the cheese curds and gravy.

POUTINE GRAVY



Poutine Gravy image

As the old joke goes, it takes a lot of time and effort to make poutine, but at least when you're finally done you get to eat soggy fries. And, what incredibly delicious, soggy fries they are. While I don't have any problem with you buying the cheese curds, or using frozen fries, I do hope you make the sauce from scratch. Use beef chuck, short rib, or brisket to achieve this marvelously meaty, super savory, ridiculously rich gravy that makes all the sogginess worth it.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     100+ Everyday Cooking Recipes

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound boneless beef chuck, chopped, or more to taste
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup diced onions
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
4 cups homemade beef broth
1 (16 ounce) package crinkle-cut French fries, or to taste
1 cup fresh cheese curds, or to taste
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives, or to taste

Steps:

  • Drizzle oil into a pan over high heat. Add beef chuck. Cook and stir until juices evaporate and the beef starts to brown and stick to the bottom of the pan, 5 to 7 minutes. Add butter and reduce heat to medium; stir until butter is melted.
  • Add onions, salt, pepper, and cayenne to the beef. Cook until onions are softened and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in flour. Cook and stir until flour smells like cooked pie crust, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in broth and bring to a simmer over high heat. Bring heat back down to medium. Let simmer, uncovered, until gravy reaches your desired thickness, 15 to 20 minutes, scraping down the sides occasionally. Season with salt.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lay fries out on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, turning halfway, until crispy and golden brown, 13 to 18 minutes.
  • Fill a serving platter with fries. Scatter cheese curds on top. Ladle a portion of the beef gravy on top and garnish with chives.

MONTREAL STYLE POUTINE



Montreal Style Poutine image

Montreal-style poutine is made with vegetable gravy but you can also make your favorite beef or turkey gravy.

Provided by Broke Guy

Categories     Potato

Time 45m

Yield 2-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 medium russet potatoes, sliced into sticks
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 scallions, chopped
6 ounces cheese curds or 6 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, diced
2 tablespoons butter
1 shallots or 3 scallions, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
6 leaves fresh sage, finely chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Set the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Pour 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil onto a baking sheet. Spread the oil around, then spread out the sticks of sliced potato. Pour the rest of the oil over the top and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Use your hands to ensure the potatoes are coated with oil, salt and pepper and evenly spread across the pan. Place them in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the gravy. Melt the butter in a saucepan on medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic. Let them cook for 2 minutes until translucent, but not brown. Add the flour and quickly stir with a spoon. Add a little broth if gets too clumpy.
  • Let the mixture cook until it turns light brown. Add the vegetable broth, soy sauce, and cayenne pepper. Bring the gravy to a boil, then turn down the heat and let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste it, adding salt and pepper as needed. Turn down the heat to very low, just enough to keep the gravy warm until the fries come out of the oven.
  • Dice the cheese.
  • After the fries have baked for 20 minutes, remove them from the oven. Lift them with a spatula and test their tenderness with a fork. If it goes through easily, the fries are ready. If you want them a little more crispy, flip them over and put them back in the over for a few more minutes.
  • Once they're done, pile one layer of fries onto a plate. Top with cheese and then the hot gravy. Repeat with a second layer before sprinkling with scallions and more freshly ground black pepper.

POOR-MAN CANADIAN POUTINE



Poor-Man Canadian Poutine image

This traditional Canadian dish is DELICIOUS. It is better with cheese curds but you can use regular shredded mozzarella cheese if curds aren't available in your area. For something a little different use spaghetti sauce instead of gravy. Recipe calls for canned gravy but homemade leftover gravy is SO MUCH better. Also, you can use store bought french fries and make them as directed on the package.

Provided by Vicki Butts (lazyme)

Categories     Other Snacks

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

POUTINE GRAVY:
2 Tbsp cornstarch (30 ml)
2 Tbsp water (30 ml)
6 Tbsp unsalted butter (90 ml)
1/4 c unbleached all purpose flour (60 ml)
2 clove garlic, finely chopped
20 oz beef broth (568 ml)
10 oz chicken broth (284 ml)
pepper, to taste
FOR DEEP FRIED FRIES:
2 lb russet potatoes (3-4 medium potatoes)
peanut oil or other frying oil
TOPPINGS:
1 1/2 c white cheddar cheese curds (see note below)

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare the gravy: In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the water and set aside.
  • 2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Add the flour and cook, stirring regularly, for about 5 minutes, until the mixture turns golden brown.
  • 3. Add the garlic and cook for a further 30 seconds.
  • 4. Add the beef and chicken broth and bring to a boil, stirring with a whisk.
  • 5. Stir in the cornstarch and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
  • 6. Season with pepper. Taste and add additional salt, if necessary, to taste.
  • 7. Make ahead and re-warm or keep warm until your fries are ready.
  • 8. For Deep-Fried Fries: Prepare your potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch thick sticks.
  • 9. Place into a large bowl and cover completely with cold water. Allow to stand at least one hour or several hours.
  • 10. When ready to cook, heat your oil in your deep fryer or large, wide, heavy cooking pot to 300F.
  • 11. Remove the potatoes from the water and place onto a sheet of paper towel. Blot to remove as much excess moisture as possible.
  • 12. Add your fries to the 300F oil and cook for 5-8 minutes, just until potatoes are starting to cook but are not yet browned.
  • 13. Remove potatoes from oil and scatter on a wire rack.
  • 14. Increase oil temperature to 375F.
  • 15. Once oil is heated to that temperature, return the potatoes to the fryer and cook until potatoes are golden brown.
  • 16. Remove to a paper towel-lined bowl.
  • 17. To Prepare Poutine: Add your fried or baked fries to a large, clean bowl.
  • 18. Season lightly with salt while still warm.
  • 19. Add a ladle of hot poutine gravy to the bowl and using tongs, toss the fries in the gravy. Add more gravy, as needed to mostly coat the fries.
  • 20. Add the cheese curds and toss with the hot fries and gravy.
  • 21. Serve with freshly ground pepper. Serve immediately.
  • 22. Note: Torn chunks of mozzarella cheese would be the closest substitution for white cheddar cheese curds. Other cheddar doesn't impart the same flavor. Don't use grated cheese because you want the chunks of cheese in your gravy.

  • Add the onions and the butter to the skillet. Saute until the onions are dark brown and caramelized. Add the flour, a little at a time, and cook, stirring constantly, to make a dark roux, 6 to 10 minutes¿don't let it burn, but it should be nice and dark.
  • Slowly add the milk and beef stock, stirring vigorously to work it all together. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the cooked sausage to the gravy; stir well. Simmer for a minute or two, until the gravy reaches the desired consistency.
  • For the poutine: Fry the steak fries in vegetable oil until crispy.
  • Serve the fries covered in sausage gravy and cheese curds. Pop in the oven to melt the cheese curds, if necessary.

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 large sweet potatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch French fries
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 to 3 shallots, thinly sliced
Pinch sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups organic beef stock
Pinch fresh thyme leaves
Pinch brown sugar
Handful minced fresh parsley
Peanut oil or canola oil, for deep frying
2 cups cheese curds*

Steps:

  • Push potatoes through a French fry cutter, or hand cut so that pieces are uniform in size. Soak in ice water for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Heat a pan on medium, melt butter. Add the flour and whisk vigorously for about 8 minutes until the roux is amber colored. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • In another pan, saute the shallots in olive oil over medium heat for a few minutes until the edges are crisp and golden. Add the sea salt and pepper. Deglaze with organic beef stock, add thyme, brown sugar, and bring to a simmer. Whisk in the roux and let reduce on medium low for 15 minutes. Take off the heat and stir in fresh, minced parsley.
  • Heat enough peanut oil to come half-way up the side of a heavy pot to 375 degrees F, or use a deep-fryer. Strain the chilled sweet potato fries and dry them in a salad spinner.
  • Using a fry basket, fry the potatoes in small batches for 5 minutes, then lay them on a wire rack, set over a paper-towel lined sheet pan to drain the excess oil.
  • Place the fries on a plate, top with the cheese curds and smother with hot gravy.

REAL CANADIAN POUTINE



Real Canadian Poutine image

Poutine originated from rural Québec province in the 1950s. I would say poutine is not second to any other food in Canada. I order poutine when I go to diners, but I also buy fresh cheese curd to make my own at home. Homemade gravy is really easy and quick to make. The only rule I don't follow for authentic poutine is that I don't fry my French fries; I bake them in the oven. Be careful. This is very addictive!

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (14 ounce) package frozen French fries
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups beef broth
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 ½ cups cheese curds

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
  • Spread fries in a single layer over prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until light brown, about 15 minutes.

Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until gravy has thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the poutine will be. Use fresh, squeaky cheese curds, crispy fries, and a flavorful gravy.
  • Make your own gravy. Don't use store-bought gravy. It's easy to make your own gravy, and it will taste much better.
  • Don't overcook the fries. Fries should be crispy, not soggy. Overcooked fries will make the poutine soggy.
  • Use plenty of cheese curds. Cheese curds are the star of the show in poutine. Don't be shy about using plenty of them.
  • Serve poutine hot and fresh. Poutine is best when it's hot and fresh. Don't let it sit around for too long before serving.

Conclusion:

Poutine is a delicious and iconic Canadian dish. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its crispy fries, savory gravy, and squeaky cheese curds, poutine is a dish that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give poutine a try.
