Recipe for poutine gravy, anyone?
Re: Poutine recipe
Poutine is a big deal in our house, I serve it every time my husband has his friends over as a side with burgers. It’s always been a hit 
However if you make it from scratch like how I do, it’s phenomenal, I make mine with beef stock, I find the taste more richer compared to chicken or veal. If there is left over you can always cool it down completely and freeze it in ice cube trays for later use, I am gonna write the beef stock recipe for you too.
Beef Stock:
6-7 beef bones (like the one’s used to make Nihari)
2 quarts water (that’s about 8 cups)
1 large onion (peeled and cut in quarters)
2-3 large carrots
1-2 celery sticks
1 ts whole peppercorn
1 ts sea salt (make sure to adjust later)
Roast the bones on a foiled cookie sheet for about 40 mins at 350 in the oven.
Let the bones cool down add the above ingredients in a large pot and let it gently simmer away for 2 hours on medium to low heat, make sure to scoop away any foam that forms on top
Strain the stock and let it come to a full boil, adjust the seasoning (salt+pepper) and keep aside
For the poutine gravy (serves 3-4 people)
1 ts butter
1 ts flour
1/2 ts salt/pepper/dry parsley
1 cup beef stock
Add the butter in a pan let it melt on a low to medium heat, add the flour and keep stirring for 2 mins, once the roux comes nicely together add the stock bit by bit and whisk it till it thickens. Adjust the salt and pepper if needed. If you want your gravy to be really thick, boil the beef stock longer almost to a reduced consistency, also you can skip the parsley if you like, but I like the colour it gives to the gravy.

Great, Thanks very much
Poutine recipe
What about the cheese curds RG? How do you make those? Or is there a substitute?
Re: Poutine recipe
No idea how to make the curds, I do however get them from time to time at whole foods, don’t like to use the processed brick cheese bars…you can always substitute the beef gravy with these toppings such as green onions/tomatoes/onions/sour cream to make it more of a ‘garden poutine’
Re: Poutine recipe
oooh, brilliant. i’ve been looking for a no-fail halal recipe for a while. Copper Kettle in Lahore serves a bloody brilliant poutine, and seeing as i can’t go there as often as i’d like…
