Poutine
Poutine originally debuted in Quebec, Canada in the 1950?s and many people claim it was invented by Fernand Lachance. It?s now mass-produced across Canada in popular fast-food chain. The dish is made up of a combination of fries, gravy and cheese curds. To lighten it up, I tried the stem of the cauliflower and it is great!
"HEALTHIFIED" POUTINE
1 tbsp coconut oil or butter
8 oz mushrooms, sliced (optional)
1 pound cauliflower
1 cup cheese curds
1 cup gravy
GRAVY:
2 TBS butter
1 tsp guar gum
2 cups organic beef broth
1 tsp organic Tamari soy sauce
1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
To make the gravy, mix in sauce pan for 10 minutes until thick and bubbly.
Melt the butter in a pan. Add the mushrooms and sauté until just starting to caramelize, about 10-15 minutes.
FRIES: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Cut the stem out of the cauliflower (you can also use the whole cauliflower if you want, but it won't look like "french fries"). Cut the stem into french fry shapes. Place on a greased cookie sheet. Spray the 'fries' with coconut oil spray and sprinkle with chili powder and salt. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven, place on a large plate and mix in the mushrooms. Spoon gravy over fries and top with cheese curds.
