The Secret Ingredient in This UA Recipe: Culture
In a modified version of the Food Network favorite “Iron Chef,” Tucson Village Farm stands in for Kitchen Stadium. Rather than trained chefs, the contestants are college students — visitors from Moscow — teamed with University of Arizona partners. The dishes represent two cultures: nopalitos, tamales, pozole and green beans with red chile from the Sonoran Desert region, and blinis, chanakhi and salat Olivier from Russia.
