Falafel Poutine Pita
Middle Eastern spices combine with Western cuisine. An overstuffed pita filled with crispy lemon potatoes, falafel, griddled halloumi, pickled turnips, banana peppers, Za’tar gravy and a drizzle of garlic aioli.
Fries
1. Double frying fresh cut potatoes keeps them crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
2. Choose the right potatoes for the right dish- for example, consider tater tots for breakfast poutine, sweet potato fries for a sweet twist, or wedges for a hearty option.
3. While it's important to make sure your fries are always seasoned, keep in mind the other ingredients that will be added to the dish and how much salt they might add. For example, consider seasoning with Tajin for a Mexican flavour profile.
4. Filter your frying oil daily for the freshest tasting fries.
5. Consider frying potatoes in beef tallow or duck fat for a more premium, unique tasting option.iddle Eastern spices combine with Western cuisine. An overstuffed pita filled with crispy lemon potatoes, falafel, griddled halloumi, pickled turnips, banana peppers, Za’tar gravy and a drizzle of garlic aioli.
Cheese Curds
1. Fresh cheese curds should arrive daily and be held at room temperature to achieve the perfect "squeak".
2. A hot gravy ensures that your curds get soft and begin to melt with the right amount of "pull".
3. While cheese curds are the classic staple, consider other cheeses that fit the dish, like halloumi for a shawarma poutine, cotija for a Mexican poutine, or sharp cheddar for a breakfast poutine.
Gravy
1. If you start with one base gravy, it's easy to create batches of other seasoned and flavoured varieties, such as Za'atar gravy, chipotle maple gravy, or red wine gravy.
2. Consider using alternative sauces in place of classic poutine gravy, like demi-glace, hollandaise, peppercorn sauce, or beef gravy
3. As guests are looking for more vegetarian options, consider starting with a plant-based gravy, like Knorr Professional Brown Gravy, which is perfect for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.
4. In addition to poutine gravy, consider a creamy drizzle sauce atop your poutine, like Ranch dressing, Hellmann's Ancho Chipotle Sauce, Hellmann's Spicy Mayo, or any flavoured aioli for added appeal and decadence.
5. When working with quality ingredients, it's important to top your poutine with a great tasting gravy that brings the whole dish together. Good ingredients make good food, but great ingredients make great food!
