Steps:
- Here it goes -- :.
- Heat pot on the stove - and place meat to fry and seal. Turn the meat to seal it all over. Use a large pot, suitable for the oven as well (I use oval).
- Pour boiled water to half the height of the meat.
- Place the soaked rinsed beans on one side of the pot -.
- Place potatoes on the other side.
- Insert barley into cooking bag (preferable made of cloth).
- On top of beans and potatoes, arrange meat, onions, garlic, cooking bag with barley and the sweet potato - try to even out the height. If you want eggs, this is the time to insert them as well.
- I usually add Kosher Kishka (stuffed darma, has less than 30% fat)- I couldn't add it to the ingredients as the program cannot recognize this food -- -).
- Dilute honey with some warm tab water - and pour all over.
- Dilute salt with some warm tab water - and pour all over.
- Dilute the sweet paprika with some warm tab water - and pour all over.
- Add boiled water to cover it all, make sure it's at least one inch above ingredients.
- Scatter tea bags. (See picture for the prepared pot.).
- Preheat oven to 250 F (120 C).
- Bring to boil on stove.
- Reduce heat and allow cooking with gentle boil for at least two hours.
- Move the pot to the oven.
- Make sure to check on the Chamin and add water if necessary. The water reduces but it mustn't get dry.
- At night, reduce oven's heat to 215 F (100 C).
- Check first thing in the morning!
- See if you need to add some water and reduce or increase oven's heat.
- The smell already drives everybody nuts -- soon, soon - we'll all sit and enjoy a great Chamin.
- Serving:: When you open the pot, everything is arranged in the same order you put it inches Take out cooking bag with barley, open it carefully and pour barley into a serving bowl. Add some of the Chamin's liquids onto barley. Put garlic aside - some like it some don't. Take out each ingredient to a different serving dish or bowl, and pour Chamin's liquids. You'll have several dishes and bowl on the table: meat, beans, barley, potatoes, sweet potato, onion, kishke, (eggs) -- See pictures.
- Enjoy!
