Ingredients

PIMENTO CHEESE RECIPE

2 ounces pimentos undrained
2 tablespoons pickled jalapenos diced
8- ounce cheddar cheese shredded
1/3 cup mayonnaise you can substitute olive oil mayonnaise
2 tablespoon sour cream
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 pinch salt

SAUSAGE GRAVY

1 to 2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 pound sausage andouille or pork breakfast sausage
3/4 cup white onion diced
1/3 cup red bell pepper diced
1 clove garlic clove minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 and ½ cups chicken broth

POUTINE

4 to 5 cups french fries cooked (You can use fresh or frozen. I used frozen waffle fries this particular time.
1/2 pound cooked shelled crawfish tails
1/4 cup tomatoes chopped
1/4 cup green onions thinly sliced

Instructions

PIMENTO CHEESE RECIPE

Mix all the ingredients together for the pimento cheese.
Taste, adjust seasoning if necessary.
Refrigerate until ready to use. You can make this 1 or 2 days early.

SAUSAGE GRAVY

In a medium skillet (I prefer a cast iron skillet for gravy.), heat the oil
Add the sausage, and cook over medium heat about 6 to 8 minutes. The sausage will be a little crispy and browned and the fat rendered. (You need 2 to 3 tablespoons total of fat. If your sausage doesn't render this much, add more canola oil to the pan.)
Add the onion and cook about 3 minutes.
Add the red pepper and garlic and cook 2 minutes.
Sprinkle in the flour and whisk until incorporated.
Add the stock and bring to a simmer.
Cook until the gravy is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. This should take about 5 minutes.
Cook fries. You can deep fry or bake whichever you like best. For frozen and baked, preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Spread fries in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Bake according to package directions, usually 20 to 25 minutes. Flip to the second side half way through the time.

PUT THE POUTINE TOGETHER

When fries are cooked, transfer to a oven-safe serving dish.
Spread the sausage and crawfish over the fries.
Spoon the gravy on top. Dollop 1 cup pimento cheese mixture over fries and gravy. (Reserve remaining pimento cheese for another use, as a dip or sandwich spread.)
Return poutine to oven for about 5 minutes or until everything is hot and pimento cheese is bubbly and melted.
Top with tomato and green onion.
Serve immediately.
