Poutine Recipe

cheese curds (or you can use small cubes of mozzarella)

*Poutin sauce:

1 qt stock of chicken or veal

2 oz of flour

2 oz of butter or oil

salt and pepper to taste

Bring the stock to a boil in a saucepan.

2 to 3 minutes

Bring the heat down and let simmer for around 35 minutes.

Stir the sauce frequently.

When you're done, strain the sauce through a strainer lined with cheesecloth

Add salt and pepper to taste.

If you want your sauce to be thicker, lower the heat to medium and let it reduce further.

Add brown sauce or BBQ sauce to taste.

**To serve:

Put some cheese curds in the bottom of a bowl.

Cover them with lots of fries.

Cover the fries with more curds

Pour sauce on top of everything.

**Opitonal additions:

fried onions

Chopped hot dogs

chicken

peas

Replace the traditional sauce with a Bolognese or Marinara. This is called an Italian poutine.

(Sounds kinda like a northern version of chili cheese fries. Would that be a Texas Poutine?)
