Pork Rind Poutine

Ingredients:

• 1 bag of Southern Recipe Small Batch Pork Rinds

• 1 1/2 cups White cheddar cheese curds, or substitute chunks of mozzarella cheese

• 1 Green onion, chopped

  
  

Poutine Gravy:

• 3 Tbsp. Cornstarch

• 2 Tbsp. Water

• 6 Tbsp. Unsalted butter

• 1/4 cup Unbleached all purpose flour

• 20 oz Beef broth

• 10 oz Chicken broth

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Prepare the gravy: In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the water and set aside.

2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Add the flour and cook, stirring regularly, for about 5 minutes, until the mixture turns golden brown.

3. Add the beef and chicken broth and bring to a boil, stirring with a whisk. Stir in about half the cornstarch mixture and simmer for a minute or so. If a thicker gravy is preferred, add more of the cornstarch mixture, in small increments, to thicken. Add salt and pepper to taste. Make ahead and re-warm or keep warm until your pork rinds are ready.

4. Prepare the poutine: Add pork rinds to a large, clean bowl. Add a ladle of hot poutine gravy to the bowl and using tongs, toss the pork rinds in the gravy. Add more gravy, as needed, to completely coat the pork rinds.

5. Add the cheese curds and toss with the pork rinds and gravy. Serve with freshly ground pepper immediately. 

6. Top with chopped green onion.

7. Enjoy!
