Saucy Vegetarian Poutine

with Lentils, Sweet Pepper & Green Peas

Poutine on the ritz! We’re giving this Québécois classic comfort food a vegetarian makeover, just in time for families across the country to celebrate National Poutine Day. After all, taters, cheese and gravy are about as kid-friendly as it gets. Add a hearty portion of lentils, sautéed sweet pepper and peas to the dish, and splash in some BBQ sauce to sweeten and deepen the sauce. It all goes along with oven-roasted fries and those signature squeaky curds, bien sûr!

Preparation

Roast the fries

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Cut the potatoes into fries. On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the spices and S&P. Roast, flipping halfway, 25 to 30 min., until lightly browned and tender.

Mise en place

Meanwhile, drain and rinse the lentils. Core and thinly slice the sweet pepper.

Start the vegetables

In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the sweet pepper and sauté, 3 to 4 min., until beginning to soften. Add the flour and remaining spices. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.

Finish the vegetables & make the sauce

To the pan of sweet pepper, add the lentils, demi-glace, BBQ sauce, 2 cups water and S&P; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook, partially covered, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 min., until slightly thickened. Add the peas and ⅓ of the cheese. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until warmed through.
