Tim Horton Clubbed Me Over the Head.

Posted Jan 10 2012 10:06am

By the time I ate dinner last night I was STARVING. I had been running around like a crazy person, pediatrician appointments, running, shopping, Tim Hortons, it was all very hectic.

(I said my resolution was to spend less on Dunkin and Starbucks; Tim Horton’s isn’t either of those things. Timmy lured me in, and then clubbed me over the head with coffee and muffins.)

My husband threw the idea of Meatless Monday out the window, and said he “needed” meat. I know he “needs” meat just about as much as a Real Housewife needs a stinging accent to be annoying, but I obliged because I was too tired to argue the point.

Chorizo won, and to go along with it, I decided to make zucchini fries. Not just ANY zucchini fries-that would be dull. Spicy, tex-mex zucchini fries with a goat cheese chipotle beer tomato dipping sauce. ZOMG.

Tex-Mex zucchini fries and chipotle, beer, goat cheese, and tomato dip.

Ingredients

  • For the fries
  • 2 zucchini or yellow squash, cut into fries
  • 1 cup whole wheat panko
  • 1 T fajita or taco seasoning-salt free
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • salt and pepper
  • 100% olive oil cooking spray
  • 3 egg whites
  • for the dip
  • 1/2 pint grape tomatoes
  • 2 oz goat cheese
  • 1/4 cup beer (I used Amstel Light)
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 tsp chipotle powder
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F
  2. place a cooling rack on top of a jelly roll pan
  3. combine the panko, seasoning, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a pie plate or shallow dish.
  4. place the egg whites in another shallow dish
  5. dip each fry into the egg whites and then roll in the panko mixture.
  6. place each breaded fry onto the cooling rack
  7. spray fries with cooking spray
  8. cook until fork tender-about 15 minutes.
  9. For the dip
  10. combine the tomatoes and beer on the stovetop and cook until tomatoes start to burst
  11. add in all other dip ingredients and mash with a potato masher
  12. transfer to a food processor and whir it up or use an immersion blender and blend.
