With seitan or other plant-based beefy protein standing in for the real thing used in the original classic Jewish recipe, it's a warming, hearty dish that's easy to adapt to plant-based.

Ingredients

3/4 cup pearl barley
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 to 2 pounds seitan, cut into bite-sized pieces
4 medium white or golden potatoes, peeled and diced
3 to 4 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
15-ounce can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup dry red wine
3 to 3/12 cups cooked small red beans, or two 15-ounce cans, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon Spanish (smoked) paprika or cayenne pepper, or to taste
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

Combine the barley in a saucepan with 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a gentle boil, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer until the water is absorbed, about 25 minutes. This won't cook the barley completely, but will give it a head start as it's added to the stew.
Heat the oil in a large soup pot. Add the onion and sauté over medium-low heat until translucent. Add the garlic and seitan. Continue to sauté over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the seitan begins to brown lightly.
Add the barley, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, wine, and 4 cups water. Bring to a gentle boil, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer gently for 20 minutes.
Add the beans and paprika. Cook over the lowest heat possible, stirring occasionally, for about an hour, or until the barley and vegetables are tender and the flavors well married. Add more water as needed to keep moist; this should be thick and stew-like, rather than soupy.
Stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper. Cook over very low heat for 5 minutes longer. If time allows, let this stand off the heat for an hour or two before serving to further develop flavor, then heat through gently. Otherwise, serve at once.

VEGAN CHOLENT

From Veganomicon- Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope, when I made this I omitted tarragon cos I didn't have any in, and I substituted the olive oil with spray cal to cut down on fat. I usually don't like TVP but this was absolutely awesome, my meat loving husband adored it. oh yeah my dog helped write this recipe, by treading on keyboard and licking my hand which was resting on mouse she wanted stroking you see.

Tips:

Use a variety of mushrooms for a more complex flavor. Shiitake, cremini, and oyster mushrooms all work well.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and seasonings. Smoked paprika, cumin, and coriander are all good choices.
Soak the barley in water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to reduce the cooking time.
