For those of you who tried the poutine and would like some more but don't feel like flying to butt fuck Montreal to get some.
Here's a recipe I found and tried last night.
* 1 lb. new potatoes
* 1 lb. sweet potatoes
* 1 lb. cheese curds
* 1/4 cup butter
* 1 1/4 cups onion, finely chopped
* 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 tsp salt
* 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
* 2 cups beef stock, heated
* 1 tbsp brandy (optional)
* 1 tbsp instant coffee (optional)
* 1 tbsp heavy cream
Directions:
Best Ever Poutine
1. Thinly slice potatoes.
2. In large pan cook onions in butter on a medium low heat for 12-15 minutes until the onions
are lightly browned. Do not rush, the onions need to be well cooked.
3. Sprinkle flour into pan, stir well, add salt and pepper, cook 2-3 minutes.
Add the warm stock and brandy, cook uncovered 4-5 minutes until thickened.
Strain gravy through a metal sieve, return to heat.
add heavy cream and instant coffee (coffee added for colour).
4. Fry potatoes in deep fryer. Remove potatoes from oil and sprinkle with course salt.
Pour hot gravy over potatoes slices and sprinkle with cheese curds.
It was delicious.
