Slimming Eats Poutine

Delicious Low Syn Canadian Poutine - if you love chips and gravy - you will LOVE this.

If you have ever been to Canada, the chances that you have tried Poutine are quite high, as it is served in pretty much any food place. Now it may look like chips, cheese and gravy, but Poutine takes it to a whole other level.

Traditionally it is crispy fresh fries cooked in their skins, topped with cheese curds and a tangy flavoursome gravy. I am not sure if cheese curds qualify for a healthy extra yet (I have enquired) so for now I used Mozzarella, which has a similar kind of texture. Cheese curds have these yummy kind of melty squeakiness to them with each bite, it’s just sooo good. I love Poutine!!
