Make Poutine Gravy Like a Canadian!

Every time someone visits me from outside of Canada, one of the first things they ask me to show them is poutine. For some reason, everyone always wants to try it immediately! I don’t blame them, it’s very hard to find reasonable fault with a pile of fries, cheese curds, and delicious brown gravy when it’s all done properly. Poutine is a dish you can pick up anywhere in the country very easily for very little money, but it’s also something you can make easily in your own home. I thought that I’d share a recipe for poutine gravy with you this week so that you can start making delicious Canadian poutine at home!

• 1/3 cup of unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup ( all-purpose flour

4. Pour in all of the broth while stirring to incorporate, and bring the gravy to a boil. Once combined, add the slurry, making sure to mix continuously for another several minutes.
