Poutine

Cultural Context

Poutine originated in rural Quebec in the late 1950s, evolving from a simple combination of fries, cheese curds, and gravy into a beloved Canadian comfort food. This dish reflects the hearty, rustic culinary traditions of the region and has become a symbol of Québécois culture. Today, poutine has gained popularity across Canada and beyond, inspiring countless variations with additional toppings like pulled pork or mushrooms.

cheese curds

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: shredded mozzarella

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while shredded mozzarella is more accessible.

beef broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: chicken broth

Vegetable broth is lower in calories and can be more affordable.

1

Let cheese curds sit at room temperature to get melty.

2

Heat peanut oil in a deep cast iron pot to 375 degrees.

3

Pour St Hubert canned gravy into a pot and warm it up.

4

Mix Club House powdered gravy with 1 cup of water, whisk, and heat until bubbly.

5

Once oil reaches 375 degrees, gently add frozen french fries to the oil.

6

Fry the french fries for about 3 to 5 minutes until golden brown, in batches if necessary.

7

Drain the fries onto a baking pan lined with a rack and immediately salt them.

8

Rewarm both gravies until piping hot before plating.

9

Mound french fries on a plate, adding cheese curds in between layers as suggested by Matty Matheson.

10

Pour St Hubert gravy over the fries, ensuring it pools onto the plate and melts the cheese curds.

11

Repeat with the Club House gravy for comparison.
