Ingredients

Cholent

  • 1/4 cup oil

  • 3 onions, diced

  • 2 generous strips flanken or chuck meat, bone-in, rinsed and patted dry

  • 2 cups Gefen Cholent Mix

  • 1 and 1/2 cups barley

  • 4 potatoes, quartered

  • 1 tablespoon Gefen Paprika

  • 2 teaspoons white pepper

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • water, to cover

Directions

1.

Heat the crockpot to “high” setting. Pour the oil into the crockpot and add the onions and meat. (My husband likes to let it cook for half an hour to get out the flavor of the meat, but if you’re pressed for time, just skip it.)

2.

Add the remaining ingredients, with enough water to cover, plus about another inch or so.

3.

Let cook on high for 12 hours. Mix once during the first three hours to redistribute the beans and spices.

4.

Keep hot on “low” until ready to serve.

Notes:

Over the years, we have found that different crockpots make a huge difference. Some don’t get hot enough to give the cholent that initial good cook-through, and some let too much moisture escape, causing it to burn out quickly. It’s important to find one that works well with your size family and of course, one that is acceptable for cooking on Shabbat.
