Serve Thursday night for dinner and save the leftovers for those hectic Friday afternoons.

Ingredients

Parve Cholent

  • sautéed onions (see note)

  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, chopped, or 4 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic (can use garlic powder instead)

  • bag of cholent beans (see note)

  • 1 cup short grain brown rice or other whole grain

  • potatoes or sweet potatoes, cut up into chunks

  • spices

Directions

Prepare the Parve Cholent

1.

Sauté onions in water (see note). Add garlic and sauté for a few more minutes.

2.

Add the beans, rice/other grain, and potatoes/sweet potatoes.

3.

Add spices like you do to your regular cholent: salt or salt substitute, paprika, black pepper, smoked paprika to give it a little kick.

4.

Add water to cover plus a little bit more.

5.

Cook in an instant pot (15 minutes on Pressure cook) or slow cooker.

Tips:

Chop lots of onions into small pieces with a little water onto the bottom and add them to a slow cooker lined with Gefen Parchment Paper on low overnight. Wake up to browned sautéed onions ready to throw in any recipe that calls for them. 1 large onion = 1 cup sautéed.

Notes:

It’s always best to soak beans 24-48 hours before use. Rinse, drain and replace with fresh water every 12 hours to decrease gas and bloating.

This recipe looks great! If I choose to make in my slow cooker, how long should I let it cook so rice doesn’t dry out?

You’d cook it with the rice, same as normal cholent. Crockpot and preferences vary…for a meatless cholent we suggest cooking it on low overnight.
