I like Canada, I like Hockey, I like their liberal state of mind, I even like how they talk.So, why not make one of their famed dishes? Eh? Or, is it , ah?

I should come right out and admit this, I mean , right now, before I even open my mouth and ramble any further; I have never actually had real poutine. So, whatever it is I made, tonight, may not even be remotely close to the Canadian classic, in any way.

But! And this is a big but, whatever it was that I did make, was extremely delicious. I kind of sucked it down like I was a hoover vacuum.I might be a pig, it is quite possible.I will try and not think of the amount of calories and fat I just ingested, as that would surely be a buzz-kill.

If you do not have any idea of what I am talking about, which would not be that out of the ordinary, poutine is a Canadian dish of french fries, curds, and a gravy.I think that is it, anyways.

So, I had made once, before, and I worked with that.Well, from what I remembered.I made a gravy, some kind of cheese-like stuff, and of course, the french fries.

I mean, you really cannot go wrong, can you? Potatoes, french fried potatoes, some gravy, and some vegan cheese.I would call that a WIN, folks.

Poutine Ingredients.
- 1 large potato, cut up for frying.
- Oil for frying.
- 2 tablespoons of Earth Balance butter.
- 3 tablespoons of flour.
- 1 and 1/2 cup of vegetable stock.
- 1 tablespoon of worcestershire sauce.
- 1 tablespoon of steak sauce.
- 2 teaspoons of hot sauce.
- 1 teaspoon of paprika.
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder.
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
- 1/4th cup of soy milk.
- 1 and 1/3 cup of water.
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
- 1 packet of yeast.
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder.
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
- 2/3 cup of Daiya cheddar.
- 2/3 cup of Daiya Mozza.
- 2 tablespoons of flour.
- 1 tablespoon of water.

I am not going to go into length about cooking the potatoes, or potato.You may even be using frozen,prepared fries.If not, you know what to do.Heat the oil up, drop the cut up potato into the oil, fry them, remove and place them on some paper towels.

For the gravy, melt the butter in a pan, then stir in the flour, then add the vegetable stock, and all the ingredients up to the water.Stir well, and often, over medium heat, till you have the gravy consistency you want.You have now made the gravy, good for you.

As for the “curds” This what I did: bring the water, yeast, lemon juice, garlic powder, and the onion pwder to a boil, then add the Daiya cheeses.Let that boil till the cheese is melted in, it should slightly bubble and thicken.Mix the tablespoon of water with the two tablespoons of water, add that to the mixture, and it should thicken further.I let this cool in the fridge, for a while, till it became almost hard.

So, really, I would make the “curds” first, let them cool, and when they are ready, make the fries and gravy.So, I just kind of gave the instructions backwards.Brilliant!

Anyways, spoon out the cheese and toss it in with the fries, and top with the gravy.It becomes a nice and tasty mess of yumminess on your plate. Hooray for Canada.Or something.
