French fries drenched in cheese curds and gravy? Yes, please! On the two or three occasions we’ve indulged in poutine over the years, though, we almost always end up with a royal belly ache. This year we tried to put a lighter, healthier spin on the beloved Canadian dish here and think it’s pretty special! Pair with the zippy K-J AVANT Sauvignon Blanc and you’ve got yourself an ‘ode to spring.  This Spring Vegetable Poutine recipe is a lighter, healthier spin on the beloved Canadian dish to pair with the zippy K-J AVANT Sauvignon Blanc.

Spring Vegetable Poutine
 
 
 
 
Serves: 4-6
 
Ingredients
  • 3 lbs russet potatoes
  • 6 radishes, shaved thin
  • 1 cup spring garlic, chopped
  • 1 cup shelled peas
  • 4 spring carrots with greens attached
  • 3 asparagus stalks, shaved
  • ½ cup of chives, chopped
  • ½ cup green onion, cut at a bias
  • handful flat leaf parsley, chopped
  • 4 oz fresh cheese curds
  • 8 oz goat cheese
  • juice of 3 lemons
  • 1 tsp salt
 
Instructions
  1. Rinse and cut russet potatoes into strips to preferred thickness, I like a heartier fry so I cut mine to the thickness of about my pinky finger. Rinse twice and then allow to soak in a basin of cold water in the fridge for at least 2 hours and up to two days before you plan to cook. This will help the starch dissipate and create crispier french fries.
  2. For the goat cheese sauce, blend about 6 oz of the goat cheese with the lemon, salt until creamy. Use a little water to thin if necessary. Reserve 2 oz of crumbled goat cheese for garnish.
  3. Prepare vegetables and set aside until assembly.
  4. Instructions for frying potatoes can be found here: http://bit.ly/1HyjZw0 If you prefer baked french fries (like me!), then preheat the oven to 475' F. Spread potatoes across a rimmed baking sheet and coat with softened coconut oil and a dash of salt. Bake for 20 minutes, then broil for an additional 5 minutes to brown the tops. Remove from the oven, While the potatoes are still hot, top with cheese curds to melt a bit.
  5. To assemble, place in a large serving bowl. Layer with vegetables, herbs, and goat cheese sauce in batches to completely coat. Enjoy immediately.
