Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • On a large baking sheet, add the fries followed by the canola oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss well.
  • Bake for about 45 minutes or until golden and crispy. Stir every 15 minutes.
  • In a large saucepan heated to medium heat, add the onion and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cook for 4-5 minutes to soften.
  • Add 3 tablespoons butter followed by the rest of the olive oil and melt the butter. Add the mushrooms, garlic and thyme then mix well.
  • Increase to medium-high and cook for about 15 minutes, until mushrooms have soften. Stir regularly. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the beer, mix and simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a saucepan heated over medium heat, melt the remaining butter and add the flour. Mix to form a roux and continue cooking for 1 minute while mixing.
  • Add the veal stock and whisk to break the lumps. Pour with the mushrooms. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes or until desired consistency. You can also speed up the process by adding 1 tablespoon of cornstarch diluted in 2 tablespoons of cold water. Keep warm.
  • Divide fries and cheese curds in plates. Cover with mushroom sauce and garnish with fresh chives!
