Cholent
CholentFlanken – cubed, about 2 lbs.
Beef bones
One cup barley
1-2 cups dried beans (I combine white and brown, or whatever)
3 large potatoes (I clean and quarter them, but don’t remove the peel)
Two large onions, cut up.
You need to soak the beans overnight on Thursday. The water gets thrown.
Brown the beef at the bottom of the large cholent pot, then add the bones,
the beans, the onions and the potatoes, in that order.
Cover with water. Bring to a boil. Put the pot, covered, into the oven, at
around 250, and leave it there overnight.
I should note that I don't add salt, because
a) kosher meat is already salty, and b) you can always add later.
I start it up around 12:00 noon on Friday, and after it boils, I let it simmer
until just before shabbat,when I put it in the oven.
That’s it.
Some people put kishke on top, but I find it needlessly fattening

Recipe: Cholent
Cook your own Sabbath stew.

Reprinted with permission from The Book of Jewish Food: An Odyssey from Samarkand to New York, published by Knopf.
I had watched Shmulik and his wife Carmela, owners of the restaurant Shmulik on Herzl Street in Tel Aviv, demonstrate cholent and kishke at the Jerusalem Gastronomic Congress in 1992, and I enjoyed the two dishes at a party at their restaurant. The following is based on their recipe.
SERVES 6
2 lbs (1 kg) fatty beef—brisket, breast, or rib
3 tablespoons light vegetable oil
2 large onions, sliced
3‑5 garlic cloves, peeled and left whole
2 marrow bones (optional)
2 lbs (1 kg) potatoes, peeled, whole if small, quartered if medium
½ lb (250 g) dried white haricot or butter beans, soaked for an hour
½ cup (100 g) pearl barley (optional)
Salt and pepper
In a large heavy pot or casserole with a tightly fitting lid, brown the meat in the oil. Remove it, and fry the onions until soft. Add the garlic and fry until the aroma rises. Return the meat to the pot, add the marrow bones, and arrange the potatoes, beans, and barley around it, sprinkling each layer with salt and pepper.
Cover with water and bring to a boil. Remove the scum, then put the lid on and leave in the lowest oven (225ºF; 110ºC) overnight. Remove the lid at the table, so that everyone can get the first whiff of the appetizing smell which emanates.
VARIATIONS
Two marrow bones (ask the butcher to slice them for you) add a wonderful rich flavor and texture.
Use 1¼ cups (250 g) kasha instead of the beans and barley.
Some people put onion skins on top of the stew to give a more pronounced brown color.
Flavor with 1 teaspoon paprika and 1 teaspoon ground ginger.
Hungarians and Alsatians add smoked or preserved goose.
ACCOMPANIMENTS TO CHOLENT WHICH ARE PLACED IN THE STEW POT BEFORE COOKING
For a cholent knaidlach (dumpling) also referred to as “cholent kugel” (pudding), work 4 tablespoons finely chopped chicken fat into 1 cup (150g) flour with your hands, add 1 egg, 2 tablespoons grated onion, salt and pepper, and if you like 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley or 1 teaspoon paprika. Add a little water if the dough is too dry, or a little flour if it is too sticky. Roll into a fat oval loaf or ball and place on top of the other ingredients in the stew. When serving, cut in slices.
For a matzo knaidlach, beat 2 eggs with salt, pepper, and 3 tablespoons rendered chicken fat and mix in 1 1/3 cups (175 g) medium matzo meal. Form into a ball and put on top of the other ingredients in the pot. When serving, cut in slices.

Cholent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cholent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaRecipes for cholents
A modern slow cooker (also called a Crock-Pot®) of the type that is used in homes to cook cholent in honor of Shabbat. This one has a removable 'pot' (upper left), lid (lower left), and heater/housing (right).There is no standard recipe for cholent. Recipes vary according to the geographic areas of Europe in which Jews lived for centuries and in some cases for millennia. The core traditional basic ingredients of cholent usually includes a good proportion of kosher beef (often flanken which requires longer cooking time and softens as it stews) -- or as an alternative meat source: chicken, turkey, veal, or frankfurters -- combined with a variety of fresh vegetables consisting of any one or more of potatoes, onions, any type of or size of beans, barley, and as much water and spices such as salt, pepper, garlic, or anything else that enhances its flavor (see seasoning), that is required to create a stew-like consistency with enough moisture that it will not evaporate as it cooks for a long time. Other vegetables and ingredients such as wheat, carrots, sweet potato, tomatos, tomato sauce, ketchup, honey, dried fruit, paprika, and/or black pepper may be added to the stew before cooking. For additional flavor and a browning effect, either some onions and/or meat may be sauteed or fried or a small amount of sugar may be carmelized in oil before adding the rest of the ingredients. Some are known to also add beer or whisky to cholent to add flavor.
One item which is often added is kosher kishka which is also known as stuffed derma. Kishka is a type of kosher sausage which is stuffed with mashed vegetables (often carrots, potatoes and/or other vegetables), beef fat and spices. Traditionally, kishka was made with intestinal lining from a cow. Today, the casing is often edible sausage casings no different than salami or hot dogs.
The cooking process is then one of simmering and stewing
