Yes, now when my MIL/FIL come over and I ask what would you like me to make for dinner (this is not dinner, but could be ;))...the response has been poutine! A delicious beef gravy over crispy fries with fresh cheese curds and rosemary. Yep, that's it! Love this Canadian dish!
So I cheat on the fries....just get 1-2 bags of frozen (extra crispy) fries and bake to your likeness (aka extra crispy, especially if you don't want your fries to be soggy)
Cheese Curds: I buy regular fresh/local cheddar cheese curds. Some come in different flavors etc.
Rosemary: Take off stem and use whole or chop.
Gravy:
2-3 cups of beef broth
2-3 TB flour
2-3 TB butter
In a small saucepan over low/medium heat, make a roux with the flour and butter. When a browned, smooth thick paste add the broth and whisk until smooth and has thickened. Add fresh diced rosemary leaves and heat through. Salt and pepper to taste.
In a dish (I used my cast iron pan) layer fries and cheese curds. Top with gravy.
Bake until curds are melted and bubbling. Enjoy every bite!
