What is Poutine?

Have you ever tried poutine?

It’s this wonderful Canadian dish that hails from Quebec, Canada. So, It’s basically a simple and oh-so-comforting meal made up of three yummy things: French fries, cheese curds, and gravy.

This wonderful Canadian dish originates from rural Quebec, way back in the late 1950s or early 1960s. Actually, there are some debates about its exact origin, but the rumors say that a cool restaurant owner named Fernand Lachance in Warwick, Quebec, came up with the idea when a customer asked him to add cheese curds to their fries. He playfully said “ça va faire une maudite poutine” (“That’s going to make a damn mess”), and voilà, poutine was born!

Over time, poutine stole hearts and taste buds all over Quebec, and it didn’t stop there. This tasty treat quickly became a big hit all across Canada and even reached food lovers worldwide! In fact, It’s like the ultimate comfort food and a must-try dish when you visit Canada.

So, if you ever get a chance, give poutine a whirl. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you! It’s like a warm hug on a plate and a delicious way to experience a piece of Canadian culture. Enjoy! 😊

Some Modifications for Halal Breakfast Poutine

Speaking to the devil, we have known that Poutine is made of three main components:

1. French Fries: Thick-cut, crispy, and golden fries serve as the base of the dish.
2. Cheese Curds: Fresh cheese curds, usually made from cheddar cheese, are sprinkled over the fries. Additionally, the curds should be firm but still slightly soft, providing a unique texture to the dish.
3. Gravy: Pour hot and savory gravy over the fries and cheese curds. Typically made from beef or chicken stock and mixed with seasonings, it gently melts the cheese curds, creating a delicious and messy combination of flavors.

These three simple ingredients come together to form the classic Canadian dish known as poutine, which is beloved for its hearty and indulgent taste. Additionally, various versions of poutine exist, with different toppings and sauces, offering a wide range of delightful variations.
So, as I was making some modifications to this recipe, I thought of preparing the cheese sauce from scratch using starch, which would give it that perfect creamy texture. Additionally, I made sure to find halal substitutes for the ingredients.

Moreover, in my country, cheese curds are not easily available, so I decided to improvise by using cube-sized pieces of cheese, which still provide that delightful cheesy taste.

And here’s the final twist: I chose not to go with the traditional gravy for the poutine. Instead, I found that the cheese sauce I made covered everything perfectly, it also giving the dish a rich, creamy, and satisfying taste.

Now, let’s dive into the ingredients and embark on creating this wonderful halal breakfast poutine with cheese sauce!

Ingredients of Halal Breakfast Poutine

Breakfast Poutine

• French Fries and Tater Tots; First of all, These are the foundation of the dish and are made from freshly cut and fried potatoes, resulting in crispy and golden fries. providing a starchy, crispy, and flavorful element. They add texture and act as a vessel to hold the other ingredients, adding texture and substance to the poutine.
• Beef Bacon; I change the bacon to beef bacon, Beef bacon serves as a savory and smoky topping, adding a rich and meaty flavor to the poutine.
• Egg;  As for topping, I make the egg scramble not a sunny side up, since I make breakfast poutine in large and sharing portions. Feel free to make sunny side up or anything you want with your eggs
• Unsalted Butter; I use unsalted butter to reduce the sodium
• Cheese Curds; Cheese curds are a traditional element in poutine, providing a unique texture and a mild, slightly tangy taste. Since I couldn’t find it here, I change to cube cheese, the taste is slightly the same.
• Salt and Black Pepper; enhancing the flavor and providing a balanced taste to the dish.

Cheese Sauce

In this version, the gravy is replaced with a rich and creamy cheese sauce made from Halal cheddar cheese, milk, and seasonings. The cheese sauce is poured over the fries and toppings. For detailed ingredients are;

• Milk; combines with flour and butter to create a creamy and pourable sauce.
• Cheddar Cheese; Cheddar cheese is the star ingredient of the cheese sauce, providing a rich, cheesy flavor and a velvety texture when melted.

Cheese Sauce

Let’s prepare for the cheese sauce first.

To begin, In a pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted completely, add the all-purpose flour, and stir continuously until the mixture is well combined and thickens. This will create a roux, the base of the sauce.
