Italian Poutine Recipe • A Tasty Take on a Classic! | Cub Foody

 

I’m originally from Québec also known as “La Belle Province”. Besides being the largest province in Canada by area with its countless lakes and rivers, it’s also known for its French culture, its love for hockey 🏒, being the largest producer of maple syrup, its arts and that includes Céline Dion, and its food!
 
Québec is recognized for its rich and diverse cuisine with its unique dishes. There’s pâté chinois (shepherd’s pie), creton (meat spread), tourtière (meat pie), soupe aux pois (pea soup) and soupe à l’oignon gratinée (onion soup) 🧅, fèves au lard (baked beans), grand-pères (maple syrup dumplings), and so on…
 
One food item that is internationally 🌍 known is poutine! From its original ingredients which are simply French fries topped with cheese curds and gravy, it got transformed into other delicious versions. I created a few on my own like Eggs Benny Poutine, Cajun, and this one… Italian Poutine!
 
To me, this is comfort food to the max! With a rich tomato sauce 🍅 made with hot Italian sausage and ground beef along with vegetables and seasonings, ladled over fries and cheese curds, this original version is totally an OMG 🤯!
 
I use “hot” Italian sausage in this recipe. It gives a little spiciness to the dish without overwhelming it. If your tolerance to “heat” is low, I guess mild is another option otherwise, I highly suggest sticking with hot. If you can’t find it, you can add a little bit of red pepper flakes to compensate or make it from scratch by clicking on this link… Hot Italian Sausage
 
Making Italian Poutine is fairly easy 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳. The only thing that is important to do is to cook the meat-vegetable mixture long enough so the liquid is evaporated and the fat is melted. This step can take anything from 25 to 35 minutes.
 
When this step is done, the marinara sauce is added and then seasoned with my Italian seasoning. After being blended nicely with the meat mixture, it simmers for another half an hour ⏰ so it gives time for the flavors to develop. It also reduces the acidity and helps thicken the sauce.
 
When 30 minutes is up, it’s time to assemble the dish. French fries 🍟 are added to a bowl and covered with cheese curds… don’t be shy! From here, we top with a few ladles of that delicious sauce we just made and sprinkle on some fresh chopped parsley… Voilà!
 
I serve this amazing Italian Poutine as a main course. It’s incredibly tasty and certainly a delicious change from the original recipe. It’s another way to enjoy this well-known Québécois dish and I’m sure it will become a family favorite 💖!
Bon Appétit! 🍽
