CHOLENT



Cholent image

The overnight Jewish stew, cholent, is typically started on Friday afternoon and allowed to cook overnight to be eaten at noon on the Sabbath. It is a flavorful, comforting slurry of beef short ribs, beans, potatoes, onions, honey and smoked paprika. This version is made in a slow cooker so those observing Sabbath need not tend to it.

Cholent is a Saturday lunch standard in many Jewish homes. Every family has their signature cholent. This recipe took me twelve years to perfect, and includes secrets I learned from ten different families. Cholent is meant to be experimented with. Some interesting additions you may want to try are soy sauce, honey, Mrs. Dash®, paprika, or left-over beef gravy.

BEEF STEW/ CHOLENT FOR CROCK POT



Beef Stew/ Cholent for Crock Pot image

I worked on my stew recipe for several years before I perfected it to what it is today! Every time I serve this for Shabbat lunch, it's completely devoured. It's ultra simple and always comes out great. If you're making this for shabbos, cook it fully Friday afternoon and keep the crockpot on the "warm" setting until serving. You can also make the recipe by substituting one can of chicken stock with a can of beer.
