Roasted Asparagus and Mushroom Poutine
A tasty summer poutine with roasted asparagus and mushrooms topped with cheese curds and a hot mushroom gravy.

Asparagus and mushrooms are a fabulous combination, one that I never tire of using, and my latest creation is an asparagus and mushroom poutine. Poutine is a Canadian dish where french fries are topped with cheese curds and gravy. I figured that the asparagus would make perfect ‘fries’ and I could toss the mushrooms in along with the cheese curds and top everything off with a tasty mushroom gravy. I always enjoy roasting vegetables, it helps bring out more flavour, and so I decided to roast both the asparagus and the mushrooms for the poutine. For the gravy I started things out by soaking some dried porcini mushrooms in broth and I used them along with some shallots, garlic, thyme and soy sauce to ensure that the gravy was full of flavour. I have too say that this is one tasty poutine; I mean, you really cannot go wrong taking an amazing combo like asparagus and mushrooms and topping them with cheese and a tasty gravy!

    That looks delicious. I love anything with a fried oozy egg on top, especially if it tops something green and colorful and healthy.

    This is the most mouth-watering recipe I've seen in a while, thanks for posting it! I just bookmarked it 🙂
