Tiny House Cooking - Cabbage Elk Casserole

Another inexpensive, nutritious, and tasty dish that is easy to make ahead or reheat.
***************************************************************
If you are new to my channel and Fy Nyth (Welsh for "My Nest") in general, welcome! I'm Ariel. I live off grid (as in no physical connection to public utilities) in a tiny house on wheels in the mountains of western Wyoming. I've been living this lifestyle for over four years now and love it! What will you find if you follow my channel and watch my videos?
Real life here. I try to show the good and the bad. The ups and the downs. What works, and what doesn't. The parts I love (most of it!), and the things that suck. Not just the showroom version of a tiny house, but everyday life in a tiny house. Not just the romantic idea of "homesteading" or off grid life, but the everyday details of this lifestyle. I split my own wood for heat, carry my water by hand, and attempt to grow as much of my own food as I can between the weather and wildlife here. I hope to help others learn from my mistakes and make life just a little easier for anyone else interested in pursuing a similar lifestyle.
I live in a somewhat harsh and cold climate, but enjoy the stunning sceanery and wildlife that I am surrounded by on a daily basis. You'll also see videos of of the nature and wildlife around my home. If you are interested in my photography or purchasing a photo, I'd love if you follow that over at Facebook.com/ArielCelestePhotography or ArielCelestePhotography.zenfolio.com!
For a bit of my background, as a child, I was fortunate enough to be able to spend much of my free time exploring and playing in the woods. Little has changed now that I'm older I suppose. I moved to a place with a bigger woods and still enjoy spending my time outside gardening, hiking, exploring, and photographing the natural world around me. As the eldest of seven children who grew up in a homeschooling family, I had the opportunity, not always appreciated at the time, to learn to do quite a bit of work. I've enjoyed a wide range of jobs, everything from greenhouses and flower arranging to wilderness therapy with teens, to milking cows. Mostly, I enjoy doing the kinds of things that I think provide a real service or value to others. Some of my other hobbies include backpacking, hosting people, cooking, preserving food, anything to do with nutrition, reading, journalling, and sitting around a fire and talking to my close friends.

Elk is very healthy,low in fat and cholesterol, good for heart patients. Wonderful recipe, and glad you use elk

[@williamthawley9251]

with the exception of the fat added and the salt.

Hi Ariel (Dawn Cierelli here-hubby is Richard)..this looks delicious, haven't watched you for awhile, so I switched it over to your channel...awesome as always...Burley seems to be getting so big....have a great day out there...:)

[@ArtGardenFoodExpressions]

Oh my Lord, you are so amazing. I would have had chaos in my kitchen preparing that dish, yet, you stood in one spot and prepared everything so neatly and turned out a delicious meal. Just love what you share. thank you.

[@chrismoore9686]

Totally agree! My kitchen looks like a disaster film if I have to prep a lot of veggies.

[@joegarry8983]

Ariel, I come from a long generation of home steaders, in this same locality with out break since the 17th century. I think I can spot the genuine article, excuse the pun, a mile off. Discovered your channel quite by chance, some time before Christmas. Can spot a fake in this arena with my eyes shut. How can I , simply because I remember my Mother and Grandmother so vividly. Their hands on broad. based depth of knowledge and abilities, we're staggering, amazing and quite humiliating. Having watched a lot of your videos, and I don't know whether this comment will please or embarrass you, and having watched you put together that pie, I was back in their world, amongst kindred spirits. This is why you have such a fan club that admires you so much. As they say in my part of the world, you are the real My coy, and most people recconise the real deal when they see it. There now, got that off my chest, will have a glass of that ginger tonic Burley.Best Regards

Aww thank you for the kind words!

[@christopherstube9473]

Wow, that sounds like a good dinner. I would throw bacon grease in with the elk. You can also cover it with a bit of pastry dough if you don't have aluminum foil. I always enjoy watching you do these things as it gives me ideas. I go through a lot of cabbage and kale.

[@thelastwarrior2992]

You can do the same thing in a crockpot as well. I love using many spices as well. Lawry seasoning salt is absolutely awesome. I've been using it for 43 years, since I was 7. I wanted to help my mom make dad's fried potatoes for his breakfast. Been using it my whole life. To be honest, cabbage and potatoes go with anything. I love them both. As well as brussel sprouts and potatoes. Awesome. Sounds like Pennsylvania cooking to me. G. Murphy Southwestern Pa, Fayette County. Love your channel Ariel :)

[@FyNyth]

:)

[@genkatqltr737]

Once I tried seasoned salt, I use it on all my meat dishes, except some Mexican food. A little goes a long way and that helps cut way back on my salt intake. Tastes sooo much better, we don't buy regular salt anymore. A little sprinkled on salad greens is good too when I don't have any dressing. 🥗. Thanks for sharing another informative, innovative, tasty recipe, Ariel. Hugs to Burley!

[@chrismoore9686]

This looks wonderful! I am so glad to see another cabbage fan! It is so cheap and delicious in slaws (raw) and cooked. I make a dish with onions, sausage and cabbage flavored with dijon/brown mustard and half a jar of apple jelly and caraway seeds. Your dish reminded me of that. Good eating!!!

[@allenrodriguez4970]

I must say I never had cabbage or elk before and I wonder what that taste like, looking at the finished meal it sure did look good...thanks for sharing your recipe.

[@jojolly54]

I just made this for dinner tonight, but since we are vegan, I used TVP crumbles in place of the elk and we’re calling it VELK casserole. It was delicious!

[@FyNyth]

Nice! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@dells85]

C Y I ‘m sure she sneezed into her elbow, as most humans do who are taken by a sneeze by surprise and can’t grab a tissue in time, and if she used enough tissue or rag to keep her fingers dry during the sneeze, then it wouldn’t really be necessary to wash her hands. Besides, what do you care, you’re not invited.

[@mikewoods897]

Looks delicious! I like cast iron skillet fried potatoes, onions and okra. My kiddos like it too. I might have to throw in some cabbage and ground beef after watching your video...and bake it too...my concoction usually sticks to the skillet. Guess I need to season my skillet better. Hope you and Burley are having a fun day! I'm sure you are!

That looks so delicious...! I think it would be a cool idea if you did a cookbook...! You've got Burly there to enjoy the cabbage hearts. Being a "wont not, waste not" person I always grate them and include them (making smoked sausage and cabbage soup today). Never had any issues with them.

[@bhos43]

THANK you, Ariel for all the informative, instructive, calming, and playful with Burley videos. They are very much appreciated. Also your cooking videos. I have 2 QUESTIONS about the dandelions you gather for salads etc. What time of year is best to collect them? Also did you make another video on cooking cabbage?

[@FyNyth]

Spring tends to be best for dandelions. Though you can pick them at any time of year. The more mature the plant, the more bitter the flavor. Which isn't bad for you, just not so pleasant to eat. Newly sprouted tender leaves are the most tasty. I do have this recipie I like for purple cabbage - kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5zVfoKpbbeenLc. And I eat it lots of other ways as well, but I don't know that I've done videos on any of the others.

[@bonecrusher9745]

You’re absolutely awesome. Do you ever coupon for your groceries? What stores do you usually shop at? Hopefully you can do some in store grocery videos showing how you shop

[@FyNyth]

Thanks! I use some coupons from my local grocery. Though mostly I buy fresh foods and there are not so often coupons for those items, as most (here anyway) tend to be for processed and packaged foods. There are several grocers in the closest town and I shop at all of them. Since they all stock different items I eat. And I also mail order food items I can't find here locally.

[@beckywa6119]

Wow that looks delicious!

[@CC-xk6cp]

Hi again! So happy when you do your cooking vids. This recipe looks so tasty and really easy too. Will get supplies tonight and make it tomorrow. Fun to hear you like leftovers! I always have too and get laughed at alot! Things always taste sooo good after having the time for the seasoning and other flavors to mix. Oh well guess we're odd or maybe those who laugh are!! Bet we get the last tasty laugh though!! Wish I had some elk. About all I ever ate in Colo. along with fresh caught trout. Some good quality beef will have to do. Can hardly wait for these leftovers. Just had a thought Ariel. Have you ever thought of doing a cookbook? How fun would that be!?! Thx as always. Til next time...

[@FyNyth]

Aww thanks! I don't think my cooking style translates to written recipes very well though....

[@moyaking8961]

That looks absolutely delicious and very healthy. I made your mushroom and miso soup today but because I off to the UK soon I wanted to use up things in the fridge so I put in some spring onions. It was lovely and my daughter is getting the rest. I love watching your cooking videos. Oh and Burley and I would have to share the cabbage heart as I love it too 😁

This looks so tasty, Ariel. With the overhead camera, I couldn't read the label from the can you opened, so I don't know exactly what was in the can or the company that produced it. Was it mushroom soup? I'm going to try it this week using beef. Thanks for your help in providing another yummy looking dish!

Coconut milk.

[@jacquelinepaddock7535]

I am dribbling over my tablet! I must try that dish though not with elk as venison is not usually available except road kill as i live near a protected forest i have seen deer within 1 1/2 miles of where I live but we are just about 20 miles from London (UK) .

[@brendalawrence6732]

This looks so good Ariel! I will have to give this a try for myself. I couldn't quite catch what you put on top out of that can, what was that??? At first I thought it was a cream soup, but don't think it was. Hugs, Brenda

Coconut milk. :)

[@athollmcnicoll256]

Nothing beats a good soup plate of meat and cabbage to fill your belly, so is this a regular feast at yours and when can I come over to feed and play with Burley Boy?

[@teriscallon]

I don't use coconut milk. I probably would put olive oil on top.

[@Sunsetsbeach]

It looks delicious! Thank you for sharing the recipe with us. Is there a health benefit to using elk as opposed to beef?

[@FyNyth]

Well the elk I have is wild, but I don't know that it would differ substantially from beef that was raised in the same way, freely eating it's natural forage with no treatment, grains, chemicals, or medication.

[@JEMCochran49]

Being a cabbage lover, I'm going to be jumping all over this dish....except for the elk...not a lot of elk meat in Ohio.

Beef works fine too. That's what I did when I didn't have elk.

[@d4ve587]

Cabbage gives me terrible wind enough to scare off any potential bear 🐻 I'd feel safe for dinner there💨😂😂

[@FyNyth]

I find it interesting that some folks don't seem to digest cabbage well. I should look into what enzyme or bacteria is missing for that to be an issue. I eat cabbage all the time and while I do have digestive issues with some other things, have never had any issue with cabbage.

[@d4ve587]

@@FyNyth probably the same family as Brussels sprouts proper trouser trumpets! Lol

[@FyNyth]

Yes, broccoli, cabbages, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, etc are all in the same family. And I really enjoy them all.

[@dfhepner]

Ariel. This really looks good. Do you process the elk yourself?

[@FyNyth]

Yep! The elk I have is wild. A neighbor and I work together to process two elk a year which provides most of the meat consumed in both of our households for the year. That includes the hunting, gutting, quartering, hanging, aging, trimming, grinding, and packaging of the animal. (ie, we don't take them to a processor) Properly handled elk has no gamey flavor at all, just a very rich lean beef taste. Proper handling starts from before pulling the trigger, to the meat going into the freezer a couple weeks later. There is a huge elk population in this area and wildlife managers have a goal of starving 10,000 of them to death to reduce the herd. We use the whole animal. Bones turn into broth or feed the dogs who also eat any trim or parts not desired for human consumption. The only bit left when we are done is the contents of the grass sack which is basically the most recently eaten grass that is still undigested in the stomach.

[@taniawallace4771]

That looks delicious. And I love cabbage so I'm going to try that with ground turkey actually. But I was wondering how do you obtain elk? And is that something you can get here in Ohio? And if you don't know the answer to that that is perfectly fine

[@FyNyth]

The elk I have is wild (Wild game is actually illegal to sell in a grocery store, so if you see some there it is farm raised. I don't know if anyone in OH sells it.).

@@FyNyth wow thank you so much for taking the time to answer so thoroughly. I appreciate that. They're going to literally starve to death 10,000 elk????? that is the most horrendous and inhumane thing I think I've heard in a while. A better alternative would be to advertise for maybe a week of open game hunting and I can almost guarantee people would come in there from all over the nation just to be able to hunt and reduce the herd that way. Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but I would much rather people be able to hunt them and to keep them and to eat them then for those poor animals to just starve to death. That's just ridiculous

Just wondering about energy consumption: baking and roasting vs. stovetop cooking. I love casseroles but find myself just making stews in a pressure cooker for efficiency (time and utilities). Thoughts?

[@FyNyth]

I think a lot of that just depends on what utilities you have. My propane oven only uses a tiny amount of propane and I don't have enough electricity to run an electric cooker, so for me, this makes more sense.

I think I heard you say in one video that you feed your dog raw food. This a new concept toe. Could you do a video discussing this? Is it better than dog food? Just wondering.

[@dells85]

Greenbean Royals feeding dogs AND cats a raw diet of primary meat, complete with bones and organ meats also ground into it is so much healthier for our carnivorous pets. There are others on KZbin who run channels specializing in raw diets for dogs n cats, so you would get all of the highly detailed recipes and instructions you would need by just searching the web w Google, and searching KZbin specifically for that topic.

@@dells85 Thank you!

[@dells85]

@@sherryellesson9665 Actually I have never once heard her say that SHE does the "harvesting" herself, only that it was harvested on the landowner's property where she is situated. While "harvested" DOES most likely mean that the landowner does hunt to acquire the Elk meat, which he shares with her in exchange for all of the work that she does for him, it is also possible that he actually raises Elk for meat, just like range cattle are. Either way, yes, an Elk was killed, but then, I bet you have no problem buying beef in the grocery store, so why does it matter that she eats Elk instead of beef? Hunted (for it's meat) or ranch raised for a meat crop does not bother me. Hunting to kill an animal strictly for the "fun" of it and for the acquisition of it's head as a "trophy" is the kind of hunting that I cannot abide, which would be trophy hunting of any of the predator species.

Just noticed that the metallic echo only happens during the overhead parts, so perhaps it’s from the sound bouncing around in the newly enclosed shelving? Again, it’s not really an issue and by no means detracts from the audio quality of the videos, it was just a riddle that I was trying to figure out.

I think it's actually that thin bamboo cutting board. It's warped just a bit over the years so it doesn't sit perfectly flat and makes a bit of an echoing sound as it rocks slightly when I chop things on it.

Don't know what was in the can. Your microphone volume was too low. Could not even get it to CC.

Coconut milk.

[@dells85]

David Bradford the canned creamy ingredient was canned Coconut Milk. She usually uses this to add creaminess to her dishes because she needs to avoid dairy as much as possible.

Yep, thanks guys. Coconut milk.

OMGGGGGGG....NOT COOKED CABBAGE...i hope Burley has a heavy duty respirator to wear.......💃🗯

[@FyNyth]

I find it interesting that some folks don't seem to digest cabbage well. I should look into what enzyme or bacteria is missing for that to be an issue. I eat cabbage all the time and have never had any issue with it.

[@sorbetingle]

joking aside, it could be a combination of food eaten with the cabbage and reacting in the stomach, plus how well the cabbage is cooked b4 eating, and as u imply how peoples digestion system differ and break down the plant...but its good to know Burley is not in danger from u ;)

[@FyNyth]

I think some folk do have a hard time digesting plants in the brassica family for sure. I just guess that there's a connection between something going on in the digestive system and that gassy result. Cooking or fermenting does seem to help in that case.
