Chef ILona Daniel: Roasted Cabbage Steaks w/ Confit Garlic

Roasted Cabbage Steaks with Garlic Confit

Chef Ilona Daniel

Serves as many as the size of your cabbage!

Garlic Confit:

7 Heads of garlic, peeled and cloves kept whole

1 cup Vegetable oil or a combination of olive and vegetable oil

Fresh herbs (I like using thyme, rosemary, and savory)

3 bay leaves

Salt

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.

Place garlic cloves, herbs, salt and bay leaves in a baking dish that has a lid, leaving at least an inch of room at the top.

Pour in the oil to totally cover the garlic, and cover with lid.

Place in the oven and cook for at least 1 hour or until you can easily pierce the garlic with a fork.

Transfer everything to an air tight container. Store in refrigerator for up to 2 months; it definitely won’t last that long.

For the cabbage steaks:

Preheat the oven to 425f and line a baking sheet with parchment.

Slice cabbage, in a top to stem motion, in ½ - ¼” slices

Place cabbage steaks onto baking sheet in a single layer.

Brush each cabbage steak with the garlic oil, then sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper.

Roast on center rack of oven at 00 degrees for 45 - 60 minutes depending on thickness. Top w/ garlic confit and chopped parsley.

Good morning Toronto! . One thing great about these later sunrises is that if I wake up at the same time as an earlier sunrise, I get to see the city still asleep before dawn. The tranquility, the sereneness, the beauty of silence. .

Chef ILona Daniel x Explore Summerside: #WarmUpYourWinter w/ Samuel’s Coffee Rubbed PEI Beef Ribs!

2020 has emphasized for all of us the importance of the communities we live in and the local businesses who contribute to vibrancy of the place we call home. Explore Summerside, the “City by the Sea” and I have teamed up to Warm UP Your WINTER through a revitalized approach to reconnecting, recharging and making memories through a celebration of locally producers and purveyors!

When we think about ways to warm up our winter, supporting our community fam can help us promote body-mind wellness as well as to breathe life into the stories we share around the table.

Meat and potatoes are an Island staple, so let’s have a little fun with something we all know and love! Owned and operated by Moyna Matheson, a sixth generation descendant of Samuel Holland, Samuel’s Coffee House has 2 locations in Summerside and proudly serves ethically sourced coffees and teas along with light artisanal fare. I picked up some medium roast Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee to be the cornerstone flavour profile in my spice rub for an incredible cut of PEI beef; the ribs. I serve the slow roasted PEI Beef Ribs with gorgeous vegetables from the Summerside Farmer’s Market. The cabbage wedges, carrots and parsnips are roasted with Dairy Isle butter and honey from B’Haven Farm. ADL Buttermilk & Aged Cheddar biscuits along with mashed potatoes round out this perfect weekend meal!

Samuel’s Coffee Rubbed PEI Beef Ribs Chef Ilona Daniel For the Samuel’s Coffee Rub:

·         ¼ cup medium ground medium roast Samuel’s Coffee (I like the Ethiopian bean for this)

·         ¼ cup paprika

·         2 Tbsp Granulated Garlic

·         2 Tbsp Granulated Onion

·         2 Tbsp sugar

·         2 Tbsp kosher salt

·         1 Tbsp Ground Black Pepper

·         1 Tbsp Ground Cumin

·         1 Tbsp Ground Coriander

You will need a 6 lb bone-in PEI Beef Rib

Preheat the oven on 500° F (260° C).

Lay the beef ribs on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Rub beef with a small amount of vegetable oil, then aggressively coat the beef with the spice mix; you want a lot of rub on the beef ribs. Get your hands in there! Roast in the 500° F (260° C) oven for 15 minutes, or until you have a nice sear on the ribs. Remove the beef from the oven, then turn the heat down to 300° F (150° C).

Pack up the beef in double or triple-wrapped foil parcel. You want to create something like a sleeping bag for the beef; don’t wrap it too tightly because we want a little steam to help soften the beef. Make sure the beef is completely wrapped up with no gaps for the steam to escape. Place the beef pouch on top of a baking rack and place the baking rack on top of a baking sheet to catch the drippings; roast for 4 hours.

After 4 hours, turn the heat down to 220° F (100° C) and slow roast for 2-3 more hours. The final product should be tender with a little jiggle. Thicken the drippings with a cornstarch slurry to be served as a sauce for the ribs.

Explore Summerside; The City by the Sea creating memorable culinary experiences!

Trudeau talks about reconciliation with the First Nations but then sanctions this bullshit just so that some assholes can build a pipeline through territory that doesn’t belong to them.

Happy first of September! I went camping recently and even though we got rained on for half of the trip, it was still a great time to be outdoors. This sunrise paddle may have been the prettiest I’ve been on in a long time. With low laying clouds behind me and a light mist above the lake, it made this a paddle to remember. . See the landscape view by swiping left. It captures the moment even better, don’t you think? .

Beat the heat by taking an outdoor shower just by standing near these wonderful Niagara Falls! .

Workshop update! This here is the Old Trappers Cabin, the original cabin that was built here before it became part of Blachford Lake Lodge. It sits atop a hill overlooking Blachford Lake where the aurora borealis can be seen right from the windows of the cabin! . If you want to join me here at this cabin for three glorious nights of aurora borealis shooting, give me a shout or check the link in my profile. . I have four spots left for my next photo workshop in August 25-28, 2022! . Swipe left for the full landscape view! .

It’s been a while since I’ve seen some brilliant colours in the morning so here’s another one from the archives from 2020 where I saw the CN Tower peaking out from in between trees. .

What I love to do most with tulips is to showcase them within their surroundings—Whether that be in a crowded area or accompanied by an urban environment, tulips add a pop of colour wherever you need them. Their vibrant colours are enough of a visual attraction that they don’t really even need to be the centre of attention in an image. . Swipe to see them all, and let me know which one you prefer more. . #nikonambassador #nikon_canada #nikonnofilter #cdntulipfest #natgallerycan #sharecangeo #ottawatourism #canadanice #photography101 #tulipfestival #howtophotograph #flowerpower (Ottawa, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/COX2stjBcGn/?igshid=1on3ktzboihj7
