Currywurst Poutine

Currywurst Poutine

Active 30 min; Total 1 hr; Serves 6

Ingredients:

– One 28- to 32-oz. package frozen steak fries

– 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

– ¾ lb. bratwurst, cut into ½-inch dice

– 1 cup minced onion, plus more for serving

– 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour

– 2 cups whole milk

– ¼ lb. Emmental cheese, shredded (2 cups)

– Kosher salt and pepper

– Chopped parsley and curry ketchup, for serving

Directions:

1.       Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Spread the fries on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes, until crisp.

2.       Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, heat the oil. Add the bratwurst and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until browned in spots, 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl. Add the 1 cup of onion to the saucepan and cook, stirring, until softened. Stir in the flour to coat. Gradually stir in the milk and bring to a boil. Simmer over moderately low heat until slightly thickened, about 7 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in 1 cup of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

3.       Mound the fries in the middle of the baking sheet and spoon the sauce on top. Scatter the bratwurst and the remaining cheese on top. Bake for 7 minutes, until the cheese is melted. Sprinkle with red onion and parsley. Drizzle with curry ketchup and serve right away.
