Cholent
Latest attempt at slow cooking, this time with a Dutch oven instead of crockpot. I made “cholent”, a traditional Jewish dish I read about. Potatoes, onions, chunks of beef, pinto beans, buckwheat, cooked for 12 hours in seasoned broth. (Traditionally would be barley, but I went for #glutenfree buckwheat.) I thought it was a hearty stew with a warm flavor (turmeric and cumin), but my husband thought it was bland gruel. Ah well.
