Cholent For Lunch Or Dinner With American Recipe

Cholent (Yiddish: טשאָלנט, romanized: tsholnt or tshulnt) or Hamin (Hebrew: חמין) is a traditional Jewish stew. It is usually simmered overnight for 12 hours or more, and eaten for lunch on Shabbat (the Sabbath). Cholent was developed over the centuries to conform with Jewish laws that prohibit cooking on the Sabbath. The pot is brought to a boil on Friday before the Sabbath begins, and kept on a blech or hotplate, or left in a slow oven or electric slow cooker, until the following day. Cholent originated in ancient Judea, possibly as far back as the Second Temple period, and over the centuries various Jewish diaspora communities created their own variations of the dish.

 

Cholent

Type: Stew

 

There are many variations of the dish, which is standard in both the Ashkenazi and Sephardi kitchens.[1] The basic ingredients of cholent are meat, potatoes, beans and barley.

 

Sephardi-style hamin often uses rice or wheat kernels and chickpeas instead of beans and barley, and chicken instead of beef. A traditional Sephardi addition is whole eggs in the shell (güevos haminados), which turn brown overnight.

 

Ashkenazi cholent often contains kishke (a sausage casing) or helzel (a chicken neck skin stuffed with a flour-based mixture).

 

Slow overnight cooking allows the flavors of the various ingredients to permeate and produces the characteristic taste of cholent. Ingredients

Ingredient Checklist

 

1 cup dry kidney beans

 

½ cup dry white beans

 

½ cup barley

 

2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed

 

1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed

 

1 large onion, cut into chunks

 

2 cloves garlic, minced

 

⅔ cup ketchup

 

¼ cup barbeque sauce

 

¼ cup soy sauce

 

¼ cup brown sugar

 

2 teaspoons garlic powder

 

2 teaspoons onion powder

 

2 teaspoons paprika

4 cups water, or more as needed to cover

 

I recommend adding eggs in the shell and push them to the bottom so they turn brown and absorb the full flavor.
