FAQ – EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE COOKING

What is the best meat to add to poutine?

Ground beef is a great option for a hearty twist on classic poutine. It adds richness and pairs well with gravy and cheese curds. It's especially delicious when inspired by shepherd’s pie or pâté chinois-style toppings.

What is the secret to a good shepherd's pie?

The key to a great shepherd’s pie is flavourful, well-seasoned meat and creamy mashed potatoes. Using buttery potatoes and browning the beef with onions brings out deep, savoury flavours. These elements work perfectly in a poutine-inspired version.

What is Shepherd's pie poutine?

Poutine au pâté chinois is a creative fusion of two Quebec classics: poutine and shepherd’s pie. It swaps traditional poutine toppings with seasoned ground beef and mashed potatoes, layered over fries with cheese curds and gravy.

Can you combine shepherd's pie and poutine ?

Absolutely! Combining shepherd’s pie with poutine creates a comforting, flavour-packed dish. It brings together fries, gravy, cheese curds, ground beef, and mashed potatoes for a delicious Quebec-style twist on two comfort food favourites.

What drink pairs well with poutine?

To accompany poutine, a homemade iced tea, a lightly sweetened lemonade, or a dry kombucha make excellent pairings. For a richer version, like shepherd’s pie poutine, try a ginger sparkling water or an artisanal apple juice.
