Poutine is something of a hot dish right now- excuse the pun. And to be honest, until a few months ago, I had never heard of it. Sure, when I was a kid I had gravy fries after school in the diner, but other than my annual trip to my hometown, this is not a food I felt I could recreate.
Who wants to mess with a good thing. But this real food, paleo version omits the grain and cheese but adds a perfect gravy, protein filled sausage, and even a little but of veggies. We messed with a good thing, but made it even better.

Ingredients
For the gravy:
- 1 tbsp. arrowroot
- 2 tbsp. filtered water
- 2 c chicken stock
- 2 tbsp. refined coconut oil
- 1/3 tsp. sea salt, plus more to taste
- 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper, plus more to taste
For the poutine:
- 2 broccolini bunches
- 4 lb sweet potatoes
- 1/2 c refined coconut oil, as needed
- 1 tsp. sea salt, to taste
- ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 lb Italian sausage
Instructions
For the gravy:
- In a small cup, combine arrowroot and filtered water until smooth.
- In a saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and pour in arrowroot slurry, coconut oil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for another 5 minutes, whisking occasionally as the gravy thickens. Remove from heat and keep warm.
For the poutine:
- Preheat oven to lowest setting (warm). Pull broccolini apart into small bite-sized pieces and rinse well. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into fries, 3-4 inches long by 1/4 to 1/2-inch wide.
- Bring a pot of filtered water to a boil. Add the potatoes and blanch for 3-5 minutes. Remove, drain and cool. Pat with a dish cloth until completely dry.
- Fry the potatoes in coconut oil until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper, and place in warm oven while you prepare the rest of the dish. Strain and reserve oil for future cooking.
- Sauté sausage in the same pan that you cooked the potatoes, using a wooden spoon to break apart into small pieces.
- Place broccolini in the pan over medium high heat and cover, steaming for 2-3 minutes until bright green.
- Place the fries, sausage, and broccolini on plates. Pour hot gravy over top. Serve immediately.
