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.

Time 15h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
1 medium onion, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
1/2 to 1 pound boneless beef short ribs, cut in 1 1/2-inch chunks
Pepper, to taste
3/4 cup pearl barley
1/3 cup dried kidney beans
1/3 cup dried navy beans
1/3 cup dried cranberry beans
3 cups chicken or beef broth
2 tablespoons honey or molasses
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Line the bottom of a slow cooker with the potatoes, the onion and then the short ribs, sprinkling the meat with pepper to taste.
  • Scatter the barley and the beans on top, then pour on the broth and the honey or molasses. Sprinkle with the paprika and salt to taste. Add enough water to cover all the ingredients. Cook on low for 12 to 15 hours, stirring occasionally (except during Shabbat, for those who observe it), adding more water if necessary. The longer the cholent cooks, the better it will be.

This cholent recipe is a great way to use up leftover meat. I used leftover brisket and it turned out great. I will definitely be making this again.
