Are you looking for an original way to host a sporting event, a gathering with friends or to mark an important event? The poutine bar is the solution! Fun, friendly and delicious, it will certainly please everyone especially the hosts, who can now spend the meal with their guests, rather than in the kitchen.
The concept is simple: you offer a selection of fries, cheeses, sauces, meats and condiments and each one designs a poutine according to their tastes!
Here are some ideas to put on the table:
Fries
This is the basis of the poutine! You can cook them yourself in the fryer or in the oven or prepare frozen fries. Serve plain, seasoned or sweet potato fries, in julienne, in cubes, in quarters or even mashed, for the most creative ones!Cheeses
Cheeses that melt are to favour to make a decadent poutine. For a perfect squeak squeak, offer cheese curds, but also cheddar, Swiss, gouda, mozzarella, feta or even blue cheese. There will be something for every taste!Sauces
Add the sauce last: it’s the secret for a poutine whose cheese is perfectly melted and the fries not too mushy! The classic brown sauce can be homemade or store-bought. Also, think of pepper, bolognese, red wine or BBQ sauces – spicy or not.Meats
This is where we distinguish the gourmands! The options are numerous in terms of meats to garnish a poutine. Grilled or crispy chicken, bacon, sausages, corn dogs, pulled pork, philly steak, pepperoni, duck confit… let your imagination go wild.Condiments
The little extras that give flavour! Sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, roasted peppers, green peas, diced tomatoes, olives, hot peppers, hot sauce, fresh herbs, chopped chives, etc. This is the finishing touch for everyone to customize their poutine. Once all your items are prepared, keep them warm until everyone is ready to work on their own poutine. Showcase them in a buffet with different stations, and your guests will be pleasantly surprised by this creative concept!
