I've decided that after coaching at a few National Championships, Liz should open up a sports theme restaurant called Shut Outs. Cin came up with the name when she announced the Zucchini Fries were a "home run", then decided that it was more appropriate for a goalie to call them Shut Out.
The center piece was supposed to be garlic burgers with a pesto sauce, but in actuality the pesto sauce worked equally as well if not better as a dipping sauce for the zucchini fries.
Pesto Sauce
Blend the following into a slurry.
2 tbl pine nuts
1/3 cup fresh basil
4 large garlic cloves
1/4 cup olive oil
For the Zucchini fries make a batter of beer and flour. It should resemble a light pancake batter.
Dip slivers of Zucchini in the batter, and fry in small batches. Salt just after coming out of the fryer.
Chef in action...
