Ingredients
Dark Sausage Gravy:
2 teaspoons vegetable or olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound fresh pork sausage, casings removed
1/2 onion, diced
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup milk
2 cups beef stock
Salt and pepper
Poutine:
1 pound frozen steak fries
Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
Cheese curds, for serving
Directions
- For the gravy: Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and the sausage, breaking up the latter with a spoon or fork and letting it brown until fully cooked. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Add the onions and the butter to the skillet. Saute until the onions are dark brown and caramelized. Add the flour, a little at a time, and cook, stirring constantly, to make a dark roux, 6 to 10 minutes¿don't let it burn, but it should be nice and dark.
- Slowly add the milk and beef stock, stirring vigorously to work it all together. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked sausage to the gravy; stir well. Simmer for a minute or two, until the gravy reaches the desired consistency.
- For the poutine: Fry the steak fries in vegetable oil until crispy.
- Serve the fries covered in sausage gravy and cheese curds. Pop in the oven to melt the cheese curds, if necessary.
