Time 12h20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

450 g pearl barley, well rinsed
450 g white beans, soaked in clean water the night before
1350 g lean beef eye round, 1/8-inch fat
450 g onions, whole (about 4 medium)
850 g potatoes
4 medium potatoes, whole
150 g sweet potatoes, whole (1 large)
1 whole head of garlic (entire bulb)
4 whole eggs (optional)
1/2 cup honey
5 tablespoons sweet paprika (full Tbs)
6 tea bags, just like this... (tea makes it all nicely brown!)
boiled water

Steps:

  • Here it goes -- :.
  • Heat pot on the stove - and place meat to fry and seal. Turn the meat to seal it all over. Use a large pot, suitable for the oven as well (I use oval).
  • Pour boiled water to half the height of the meat.
  • Place the soaked rinsed beans on one side of the pot -.
  • Place potatoes on the other side.
  • Insert barley into cooking bag (preferable made of cloth).
  • On top of beans and potatoes, arrange meat, onions, garlic, cooking bag with barley and the sweet potato - try to even out the height. If you want eggs, this is the time to insert them as well.
  • I usually add Kosher Kishka (stuffed darma, has less than 30% fat)- I couldn't add it to the ingredients as the program cannot recognize this food -- -).
  • Dilute honey with some warm tab water - and pour all over.
  • Dilute salt with some warm tab water - and pour all over.
  • Dilute the sweet paprika with some warm tab water - and pour all over.
  • Add boiled water to cover it all, make sure it's at least one inch above ingredients.
  • Scatter tea bags. (See picture for the prepared pot.).
  • Preheat oven to 250 F (120 C).
  • Bring to boil on stove.
  • Reduce heat and allow cooking with gentle boil for at least two hours.
  • Move the pot to the oven.
  • Make sure to check on the Chamin and add water if necessary. The water reduces but it mustn't get dry.
  • At night, reduce oven's heat to 215 F (100 C).
  • Check first thing in the morning!
  • See if you need to add some water and reduce or increase oven's heat.
  • The smell already drives everybody nuts -- soon, soon - we'll all sit and enjoy a great Chamin.
  • Serving:: When you open the pot, everything is arranged in the same order you put it inches Take out cooking bag with barley, open it carefully and pour barley into a serving bowl. Add some of the Chamin's liquids onto barley. Put garlic aside - some like it some don't. Take out each ingredient to a different serving dish or bowl, and pour Chamin's liquids. You'll have several dishes and bowl on the table: meat, beans, barley, potatoes, sweet potato, onion, kishke, (eggs) -- See pictures.
  • Enjoy!

CHOLENT



Cholent image

Cholent is a traditional meat stew made by many Jewish families every Sabbath. It is prepared on Friday afternoon - rarely measured, so all measurements listed are approximate - and cooks slowly until it is served at lunch on Saturday. I would consider this a basic Ashkenazi cholent, with the flavors of the meat and the onion being dominant. it is open to interpretation, of course, and I often modify the flavors and ingredients depending on my mood. The optional additions are some I've encountered, feel free to add your own!

BEST CHOLENT EVER



Best Cholent Ever image

This is a full meal in a pot: ground beef, chicken, spaghetti noodles and potatoes swimming in a savory sauce. Thanks to the Yerushalmi caterer Moshe Goldin for this recipe--the only cholent my family is willing to eat! Note to people doubling or halving the recipe: this is meant to be cooked in layers that completely fill the pot, so change your pot size accordingly and make sure you still have nice separate layers in the new pot, and that it is filled to the top.

Time 16h55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup oil
1/2 kg ground beef
8 chicken drumsticks
3 large onions, sliced
4 large potatoes, sliced into 1/2-inch thin disks
180 g spaghetti
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon turmeric
2 tablespoons chicken soup powder
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • You will need a 5.5 gallon pot you can put in the oven (i.e. no plastic parts). Cook the spaghetti in a different pot with the tumeric (for color).
  • While it cooks, heat the oil in the pot over a large flame and add the chicken and ground beef. Stir as necessary so they are browned on all sides.
  • In the meantime, slice the potatoes into 1/2" discs.
  • When the meat is browned, take out the chicken pieces and the beef, but leave the oil and shmaltz in the pot. Add the onion slices to the pot to form the first layer--the onion layer. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the potato slices to form the potato layer. Sprinkle with the chicken soup powder and pepper to taste.
  • Add the chicken drumsticks, squeezing them together to make a nice tight chicken layer. Sprinkle with the paprika and add salt and pepper--you know the drill.
  • Strain the spaghetti, rinse it off and add it to the pot to form the spaghetti layer, salt and pepper as usual.
  • Add the ground beef--it will not be a layer, it's just there for flavor.
  • Cut a cooking bag open so you have a sheet. Place it on top of the layers and add 1 Tbsp of oil and 1/2 c of water. Make sure they stay in the center of the cooking sheet and don't spill over into the cholent--they will fill your hermetically sealed pot with the steam necessary to cook your cholent without it drying out as it waits 16 hours in the oven for you to eat it!
  • Cover the pot and wrap it on all sides with aluminum foil. Put it in a 180 degree Celsius (medium temperature) oven for 40-60 minutes, then switch the oven over to the hot plate setting, or move it to a hot plate with a box around it to make sure heat is even on all sides. From experience, putting it on a regular hot plate means the bottom layers burn and the top layers are kind of anemic looking, without all the delicious sauce.
