I competed in a cholent competition at my shul. There were 7 competitors and I won first place. Everyone loved it. It has tender, melt-in-your-mouth salami and cheek meat as well as chickpeas in place of beans. It’s a meal in a bowl and it’s so easy to make.
6 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled, left whole
2 onions, peeled, diced
1 cup barley
1 can Goya chickpeas, drained and rinsed
10 garlic cloves, peeled, minced
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 cup water
2 pounds cheek meat
1 (16 oz) salami, cut into hasselback
3 marrow bones
1 kishka
Place all ingredients in the order that they are listed in a slow cooker. Cook on low covered overnight up to 24 hours.

Where the recipe calls for Hasselback salami, did you take a regular salami and cut it Hasselback style, or did you actually prepare a Hasselback salami? I just cut a regular salami and the cholent was excellent.
