2. Add the mushrooms: Slice your favorite mushrooms (cremini, portobello, or a mix) and add them to the pan. Cook until browned and the liquid has evaporated.
3. Make a roux: Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture and cook for a minute or two, stirring constantly.
4. Build the flavor: Gradually whisk in vegetable broth until you reach your desired gravy consistency. Add Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to taste.
5. Simmer to perfection: Let the gravy simmer for a few minutes to thicken and develop flavor.
Assembling the Poutine:1. Pile it on: Place a generous portion of hot fries in a bowl.
2. Drench it in gravy: Pour the rich mushroom gravy over the fries.
3. Top it off: Scatter cheese curds over the gravy. Serve immediately while the cheese is still squeaky.
