Welsh Rarebit Poutine
from https://www.fusioncraftiness.com/

For the uninitiated, Welsh Rarebit is a robust cheese sauce that starts from a roux - then beer is added along with sharp cheddar, mustard, worcestershire and a pinch of cayenne. This cheesy goodness is usually drizzled over toasted bread and is traditional pub fare dating back to the 1700’s. We are marrying the Canadian classic comfort food called Poutine with this Welsh comfort food by drizzling Welsh Rarebit over seasoned fries. If you don’t want beer, just substitute wine or apple cider.

A traditional Canadian comfort food is re-invented with the addition of the cheesy Welsh Rarebit sauce from across the pond.

3 Tbs all purpose flour (24 g)
3 Tbs salted butter (42g)
1 1/2 cups of beer (1 pint), your choice or apple cider
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne
1 Tbs dijon mustard
1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
8 oz sharp cheddar (200g)
One package of frozen fries
OPTIONAL GARNISH: scallions, parsley, black pepper, cheese curds

Cook fries according to package directions.

While fries are cooking, in a medium sauce pan heat butter and flour over medium heat and stir constantly with a whisk until the roux turns a golden color and smells nutty.

Add beer or apple cider and stir well with whisk.

Add pepper, cayenne, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and nutmeg, bring to a simmer.

Add cheddar and stir well.

Continue to cook until cheese is melted and sauce is well developed.

Serve by plating cooked fries and drizzling the cheese sauce all over. Garnish as desired.
