Green Bean and Mushroom Poutine

[heart_this] · Feb 21, 2009 · 45 Comments

Green Bean and Mushroom Poutine

The next thing that I came across while cleaning out my freezer was some leftover gravy from the pot roast that I made a while ago. As soon as I found the gravy memories of the sweet potato poutine came back and I was craving more. I remembered hearing about a vegetable version of poutine that replaced the fries with other vegetables. I was thinking that this was a good idea and the first thing that came to mind was green beans as they have a shape that is similar to fries. Some sauteed mushrooms sounded like they would finish off the dish nicely. The green bean and sauteed mushroom poutine turned out great! I guess you really can’t go wrong with smothering any vegetable with cheese curds and tasty gravy. The green beans make this decadent treat just a bit leas unhealthy than the fries would have been. 🙂

    Heck, you could put cheese curds and gravy on old sneakers and it would probably taste good! Green beans have never looked more tempting.

    Pam: Cheese curds are the fresh curds of cheese from before they are packed into a brick I believe. They are a mild cheese that is ideally eaten when fresh. When eaten it squeaks a bit and it is nice and gooey when melted.

    Imagine this with a bit of collard greens (bette à carde) instead of green beans… *drooling* I have to cook this soon !

    My goodness this was delicious, I was gonna be making ground beef patties with mushrooms and mozza cheese on top but didn’t feel like mashed potatoes and wasn’t sure if green beans worked with gravy etc and came across this. so I just did the patties and then the green bean and mushroom poutine, made a green peppercorn gravy for it and was fantastic.
