Poutine râpée
Traditional Acadian dumpling dish
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Poutine râpée is a traditional Acadian dish that in its most common form consists of a boiled potato dumpling with a pork filling; it is usually prepared with a mixture of grated and mashed potato.
Some versions of the dish call for the dumpling to be boiled on its own for several hours.[1]
Because of the time it takes to prepare poutine râpée, it is generally regarded as a special occasion meal, especially popular during the holidays. White or brown sugar, maple syrup or fruit preserves may accompany the dish.[2]
