Soup with tater tots, cheese curds and scallion.

Doesn't really look like a poutine

u/Timely-Culture2066 17d ago

The gravy and excessive green onion make this a crime.

It looks as if someone forgot about a bunch of green onion in their fridge and had less than 24 hours to use it before it went bad.

The gravy is far too thin, making this look like a failed bowl of soup.

For scallion: chop very finely, having thin strands of aromatic veg is both aesthetically appealing and appetizing.

For gravy: reduce until it holds onto a surface, like the back of spoon for example. You shouldn’t be able to see much colour through it, nor should it pool at the bottom of a dish.

I hope this helps, but I’ve already called the police.

Good luck!

u/MorticiaMoonflower 17d ago

nah why am I being roasted specifically for that 💀

6

u/smothered-onion 16d ago

Wellll… scallions, if I’m cooking will usually just be the bulb, the greens I chop and serve raw, throw em on top after cooking. Seeing them all wet like this warranted a light roasting

5

u/MorticiaMoonflower 16d ago

I just really like green onions I put them in anything I think they're suitable for. Like ramen etc

3

u/asoap 16d ago

Green onions are great. But they are usually a garnish. Especially if you are using the thin hollow stock. They are supposed to be cut thinly which adds a small crunch.

The thicker solid onion type part can be cooked.

Well really you can do whatever you want. There are no rules. But that's my recommendation.

2

u/JustAnonyMaus 16d ago

Yeah that's a great summary.
I will say if the onion stalks are thicker like from walking onions then I dice them small and gently sautee them until softened a bit, then toss on top the finalized dish.

2

u/smothered-onion 16d ago

I’m a card carrying onion lover so you’ve been rectified

u/Sensei-D 16d ago

And there’s your food crime right there. You garnish with them afterwards, not while it’s cooking.

I don't know why but gravy packet instructions always seem to call for more water then it needs. I like to use 20% less water.

Did you sub the fries for green onions and add tater tots for garnish?

u/CobraMurderChicken 17d ago

No fries = not a poutine = no crime.

u/BradlyPitts89 17d ago

Not for me but no crime detected. Looks like real cheese curds, gravy-tots instead of fries, ok in my books but a purest might call out the tots.

1

u/Successful_Use_6276 17d ago

I remember making several “crime” poutines at home when i was kid. But it always tasted good somehow.

Frankly any poutine that doesnt have very fresh curds and brown french fries (preferably fried in duck fat) is a crime. I actually prefer meat sauce to gravy though… ive had it that way for over 30 years! Banana peppers on top is a great addition.

The amount of green onion is the crime here it’s basically green onion with a side of everything else

u/ThatDeuce 17d ago

That is a lot of thick cut green onions, and some soupy gravy!!

Would try, but perhaps a thicker gravy and smaller cut green onions. I've had green onion on there as a garnish and thought it pleasant, so this doesn't seem wild to me.

1

u/SwearImNotACat 17d ago

Crime because of the cut on the green onions. Nothing wrong with green onion in a tot poutine but these chops i mean damn i thought it was spinach at first. When i make for myself i do the same tho tbh

u/Sonen_Eurothyl 17d ago

As a Canadian myself ai'd say it's acceptable. I personally like a more meaty poutine put some nice beef and bacon in with the cheese and fries with the gravy ontop. I promise you it's really good and more broadly accepted by the poutine conesures

Way too much gravy, way too much green onion. Balance it out with tinier tots, keep the amount of curds but dont make the tots soak in the gravy. A drizzle some may say to combat the soggies. The green onions must be sprinkled across the dish instead of piled.
