Fenelon Poutine

Courtesy of us old-time students from Fenelon Falls - this is how I ate poutine almost every day in my high school days (oh, the memories!). People say real poutine must have mozzarella cheese curds - I emphatically disagree! In every restaurant I’ve been to in Ontario, they use shredded cheese. If you’re like me and prefer the English-Canadian version (non-cheese curds) and want to try something different, try this!

The most clear way to choose a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick something different. If you’re making pasta, go for a simple vegetable . Made steak? Go for more light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a best idea to adjust with make a rice salad.

One make sure is also can make to cooking process . You don’t want to push more often your oven by making to do list three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the stovetop . But sometimes you can make a dish do more often .
