Joel Harrington has covered a lot of ground since his days as a teenage fry cook at a family-owned restaurant in Vermont. The Chef de Cuisine at Core Kitchen and Wine Bar of The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain in Arizona, has spent time in New York, California and Texas\u2014earning praise and nominations along the way from the likes of the James Beard Foundation, Zagat, and Esquire<\/em>\u2014but seems to have settled nicely at his new location, tucked away in the high Sonoran Desert outside Tucson. Harrington incorporates the bold, diverse flavors of the Southwest, while also bringing his passion for seafood and coastal cuisine inland. He has been instrumental in establishing all aspects of the restaurant, arriving a year early to peruse local farmers markets and meet various purveyors, while creating the overall ambiance at Core.<\/p>\n

At a well-attended demonstration of his adventurous cooking at the French Culinary Institute this past weekend, the mohawked, mountain biking chef divulged his passion for learning about and incorporating local produce in his restaurant, and sat down afterward to discuss the ways in which his past experiences have shaped his new position at Core.

A Hot Summer Recipe<\/strong><\/p>\n

Big-eyed tuna, pickled radish, ancho cream and chili \u2018pop rocks\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n

8 oz sushi-grade Big Eye Tuna
\n1 ea cucumber
\n1 ea diakon
\n6 ea red radish
\n1 ea avocado
\n2 oz watermelon flavored \u2018pop rocks\u2019
\nground Ancho and Guajillo Chiles (or ground chili powder)
\n2 oz soy sauce
\n1\/4 oz yuzu juice
\n1 tsp sriracha
\nsalt to taste
\nmicro greens, for garnish
\n1\/4 cup sour cream
\nlime juice, to taste
\nolive oil<\/p>\n

The Components:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tuna:<\/strong> Trim any sinew and cube into 1\/2\u201d x 1\/2\u201d cubes. Set aside.
\nDaikon:<\/strong> Peel Daikon, cut into 1\/2\u201d batonettes. Marinate in the dipping sauce (see below) for two hours.
\nRadish:<\/strong> Thinly slice and cut into a julienne.
\nCucumber:<\/strong> Julienne cucumber into 1 1\/2\u201d batonettes. Marinate overnight in two parts olive oil to one part Yuzu.
\nAvocado:<\/strong> Cut into small dice. Mix with the radish just prior to plating.
\nAncho cream: Mix sour cream with 1 tsp Ancho powder, lime juice to taste, S&P.
\nPop Rocks:<\/strong> 1 package \u2018Pop Rocks\u2019, toss with chili powder.
\nDipping sauce:<\/strong> Mix soy, Yuzu and Sriracha together.<\/p>\n

To Assemble:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Place tuna in 1\/3 of the dipping sauce and let sit for 30 seconds. Arrange the tuna cubes on a rectangular plate. Also arrange two pieces of the cucumber, two small lines of mixed radish and avocado. Place a piece of Daikon across each cube of tuna. Place two small dollops of Ancho cream on opposite corners of the plate. Dust pop rocks over the entire plate. Serve with a small side of dipping sauce. Garnish with micro greens.<\/p>\n

Recommend to guests to pour the dipping sauce over the plate to \u2018activate’ the Pop Rocks.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

oM:<\/strong> As a chef, it\u2019s a bit of a no-brainer to want fresh, top quality ingredients for your meals. Have you always had, or tried to have, access to a growing space or garden for your restaurants, or was this a more recent development for the Ritz?<\/em><\/p>\n

Chef: <\/strong>It does align with the Ritz\u2019s goals in terms of using local, fresh ingredients. The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua on Maui has two organic gardens on the property that feature a wide range of fruits, vegetables, and herbs, and works closely with killer local farmers as well. But this was also something I was really into before I arrived at Dove Mountain. I was in Tucson before the opening so I could get a grasp of the area and what was available. I\u2019ve always been into using local ingredients in the areas I\u2019ve worked and I was really excited to begin meeting with local farmers and browsing markets in the Tucson area. I\u2019m working on getting a growing space for the property, but at the moment, I have one nearby farm that I work with for obtaining ingredients for my menu.<\/p>\n

oM: <\/strong>What\u2019s your view on the present local food movement that\u2019s so popular in New York? It seems as though people are turning out for farmers markets and at specialty food stops with a greater frequency than five years ago. Is this a trend you notice in Tuscon as well? Are there any similarities?<\/em><\/p>\n

Chef: <\/strong>To some extent, I think the roots have always been in place in New York. You have a variety of farms available, and you also have a population that is food-savvy and demands consistently high-level quality in what they consume. People are now more aware of the process of bringing food to the plate, of eating seasonally, and also the impact of their consumption. My hope is that it doesn\u2019t become something that\u2019s available only to a certain population. It\u2019s not a gourmet food shop; quality food should be made available to whomever wants it. In Tucson, likewise, you definitely have a connection between farmers and buyers. I visit markets Friday, Saturday and Sunday if I need to. Through those markets, I met the farm I now work with, as well as the potter who provides tableware for the restaurant. I also learned so much about local spices, cactus uses and chili varieties. I have a mesquite lady that I visit often as well.<\/p>\n

oM: <\/strong>You\u2019ve said that you enjoy working with seafood and also bring a lot of your past experiences with you to Arizona. Do you have a variety of purveyors on hand, or only a select number?<\/em><\/p>\n

Chef:<\/strong> I like to have a small number of people that I work very closely with. It\u2019s important for me to know them and their methods, and I enjoy having a few suppliers with whom I can establish close relationships that will be long lasting and mutually beneficial. This fall, I\u2019ll be able to go out and fish with my fishmonger in Nantucket. I work with the awesome Bowen family in Laughing Bird Caye, in Belize, for Core\u2019s shrimp. As I mentioned before, I buy from a farmer in the Tucson area who\u2019s growing nine different varieties of chilies this year, which I\u2019ll be able to incorporate in the restaurant. So although I\u2019ve moved around quite a bit during my career, I like to find those people that I\u2019ll be able to work with for a long time.<\/p>\n

oM:<\/strong> Are you finding ways\u2014or time\u2014to be involved in the community around Dove Mountain?<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chef:<\/strong> Well, we\u2019re located five miles up in a very private spot, but I do, yes. I\u2019m on an advisory board right now that\u2019s looking at ways of improving local school lunches. That\u2019s something I\u2019ve been interested in for a long time. Even if it\u2019s an after-school snack of locally grown produce given to them, it makes a difference. There\u2019s a lot we can do with teaching young kids about food, but also a lot we\u2019re trying to do with making good food available to them.<\/p>\n

At Core, about 40% of our patrons are local, so it\u2019s really important that I connect with people who live in the area and will potentially be back again and again. I like to think of the restaurant as one big picture; we\u2019re all approachable and everyone is important. I spend a lot of time in the front of the restaurant, meeting diners and interacting with other guests.<\/p>\n

oM:<\/strong> You\u2019ve worked in Vermont, New York and Texas before moving to Arizona. What has been the most exciting region for you, as far as working with locally-sourced foods?<\/em><\/p>\n

Chef: <\/strong>I love Arizona. I think the local flavors, spice and variety here are excellent and exciting. It\u2019s an amazing place to have a restaurant. I have Asian influences [from Vermont] and Scandinavian [from Aquavit in New York] as well, and I\u2019m always looking to bring those into what I cook. But dude, I\u2019ve had so much fun working with cactus, chilies, and mesquite flour pods, to name a few.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
