Poutine and Maudite Belgian-style dark strong ale



Poutine - a staple food in Quebec. Large cut fries from organic russet potatoes. Topped with crumbles of p'tit basque cheese (creamy sheep cheese from the Basque region of France [traditionally used cheese curds were unavailable in San Diego at the time - and p'tit basque was the best alternative]). Topped with gravy made with organic brown gravy mix, organic ground green peppercorn, Maudite beer instead of water, and a touch of vegetable oil).

Beer pairing: Maudite. Belgian Strong Dark Ale. Unibroue. Quebec, Canada. Paired with an ale from Quebec to compliment this traditional Quebecois dish. Dark strong ale used to compliment the brown gravy.

5/28/10.
