Italian Poutine
Super tasty, this Italian Poutine is an original take. It's so fabulous and another way to enjoy this well-known Québécois dish!
Ingredients
- 1 lb. hot Italian sausage, casings removed see Recipe
- 1/2 lb. lean ground beef
- 1 cup white onions, diced
- 1/2 cup red peppers, diced
- 1/2 cup green peppers, diced
- ground Himalayan pink salt, to taste and divided
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste and divided (I always use mixed peppercorns)
- 3 large cloves garlic, pressed
- 1 large (about 1/2 cup) Roma tomato, seeded and diced
- 2 2/3 cups (650 ml.) marinara sauce see Recipe
- 1/2 tbsp. Italian seasoning see Recipe
- 5 cups French fries, cooked see Recipe
- 4 cups cheese curds
- 1 tbsp. fresh chopped parsley, for garnish tips & tricks
Directions
- In a pot over medium heat, add Italian sausage and ground beef. Break the meat into small pieces and cook until halfway done.
- Add onions, red and green peppers; seasoning with salt and black pepper. Stir very well and continue cooking until the meat is no longer pink.
- Add pressed garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add Roma tomato and mix it in. Cook the mixture until the liquid is almost evaporated and the fat is melted, about 30 to 35 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add marinara sauce and Italian seasoning. Stir until nicely incorporated, cover but leave the lid ajar, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- To assemble, place fries in a bowl followed by a generous amount of cheese curds and top with a few ladles of sauce; sprinkle on chopped parsley.
