Pulled pork Poutine




Canada and Quebec is the place where the Poutine making tradition has begun. It is mix of French fries, gravy and creamy cheese curd. It is Canadian comfort food what has reached all over the world. Classical version with gravy and cheese grain is good, but "advanced" version with pulled pork, bacon and smoked meat gives to Poutine especially tasty nuance.

Pulled pork Poutine recipe I have got from from this page and made some modifications to recipe:

Crispy French Fries, juicy pulled pork, creamy cheese curd and beer BBQ gravy. Here in Estonia we do not have such product as cheese curd available. It is possible to replace it with small Mozzarella cheese pieces, if you like.


Ingredients:

1,4 kg pork shoulder
300 g light beer
300 g smoky BBQ sauce
salt, pepper
8 pcs medium size potatoes
Vegetable oil for frying
2 tsp wheat flour
25 g  butter
120 g Mozzarella cheese pulled into small pieces (add if you like)
200 ml whipping cream
white onion rings
spring onion

Season pork shoulder with salt and pepper, cover with food film.Let the meat season overnight in refrigerator.

Next put meat into slow cooker or oven pan (with lid). Cook meat in slow cooker in LOW 6-7 hour or in oven at 140 C for 5-6 hours.
Meat is ready, when it is possible to shred the meat with two forks.
When meat is cooked,then pour all gravy from the meat to the jug. Shred the meat with two forks into smaller pieces. Add so much gravy back to shredded meat, that it will be juicy. Do not add too much. Season meat with salt and pepper, if needed
Make French Fries. Clean and chop the potatoes. Fry in hot oil until potatoes are crispy and golden outside and soft inside. Fry also onion rings in hot oil.

For making sauce melt butter in pan and add flour. Add 200 ml gravy to butter and flour mix. Mix the sauce all the time to avoid the lumps.  Add 200 ml whipping cream and heat until boiling. Season with salt and pepper.

For serving put French fries to the plate and pour over with sauce. Put pulled pork to the French fries and cover meat with fried onion rings. Sprinkle with spring onion. If you wish add also Mozzarella cheese.
