The ultimate poutine
That’s what it looks like. Amazing. Stunning. Delicious. Piled high with thick potato fries, curds, bacon, peppers, onions, and loads of gravy.
Here’s another view.
Oh yeah, heaven. I’ve attempted recreating this myself (yeah, I’ll show you the pictures another time, hehe), but I have yet to get anywhere close to the incredible (yes, it’s worth this many adjectives) poutine from Belgian Fries on Commercial Drive in Vancouver.
Did I mention how good this tasted? Mmm.
Blooming onions at home
If you go to a restaurant and order a blooming onion, you’ll be brought something along these lines:
Anyone else drooling right about now? I know I am, geesh.
Around here, though, this is how it goes:
Not nearly as pretty and definitely not as big. Seriously, where do they get those gigantic onions? ;)
But when you find onions for $.59 for 3 pounds and haven’t had a blooming onion in years, you take what you can get. And in this case, it meant a blooming onion for each person all to their own.
Prep/cut onions, soak in milk for 15+ minutes, coat in flour and whatever seasonings you prefer (salt and pepper are sufficient), and deep fry until golden. In my case, I put each one on some coffee filters when they were done to help soak up that glistening grease you see. Devour while warm; they’re not that great room temperature, cold, or reheated, bleh.
