Description

A Canadian twist on the beloved poutine, this dish features crispy fries topped with cheese curds, succulent pulled pork, and a rich maple-infused gravy. Finished with a dollop of sour cream and fresh herbs for extra flavor.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 lbs pork shoulder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup (for pork)
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large russet potatoes, cut into fries
  • 2 cups cheese curds
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup (for gravy)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • Fresh herbs (like parsley or microgreens), for garnish
  • Sour cream, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season the pork shoulder with salt and pepper, and sear on all sides until browned.
  2. Remove the pork and sauté the onions and garlic in the same pot for about 5 minutes.
  3. Add maple syrup, barbecue sauce, and apple cider vinegar; bring to a simmer.
  4. Return the pork to the pot, cover, and cook on low for 4–6 hours until tender. Shred using two forks and set aside.
  5. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread fries on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, and bake for 25–30 minutes until crispy and golden.
  6. For the maple gravy, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes.
  7. Gradually add beef broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Stir in maple syrup and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened. Season to taste.
  8. To assemble, place fries on a serving plate. Top with cheese curds, pulled pork, and drizzle with maple gravy.
  9. Finish with a dollop of sour cream and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Slow cooker or pressure cooker can be used to cook pork more conveniently.
  • For crispier fries, soak cut potatoes in water for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Use white cheddar cheese curds for authentic flavor.
  • Gravy can be made ahead and reheated when assembling.
