Classic Chulent Recipes

CHOLENT

Cholent image

This classic Jewish Shabbat dish can be started the evening before Shabbat and cooked overnight so it's ready (and hands-off) the day of. There are endless versions of the dish; this one features short ribs for celebratory richness and gets subtle sweetness from honey, tomato paste and carrots. We also add whole creamer potatoes, a variety that holds up well to long cooking and will absorb the delicious beef flavor. Although cholent can be cooked in a low oven or on a hot plate, using a slow cooker means the dish can simmer overnight and stay warm until you're ready to serve.

Time 18h40m

Yield 8 servings (about 13 cups of stew)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1/2 pound dried great Northern beans (1 1/4 cups), picked through to remove any debris and rinsed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds boneless beef short ribs, cut into 3-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup red wine
2 medium yellow onions, diced (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 pound small creamer potatoes
4 carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup pearled barley
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup honey
4 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Parsley leaves, for garnish

Steps:

Place the beans in a medium bowl and cover with a few inches of water. Refrigerate at least 8 hours.
Using the sear feature of your slow cooker, or a heavy pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef on both sides with salt and pepper. Sear the beef until deep golden brown on one side, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn and sear other side until golden brown, 4 to 6 more minutes. Remove the beef and set aside. Remove and discard excess oil. Add 1/4 cup of the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pan. Cook until mostly reduced, about 30 seconds.
If searing in the slow cooker, add the onions in one layer. Top with the potatoes, then the seared beef. If searing in a separate pan, place the onions in one layer on the bottom of the slow cooker. Top with the potatoes, then the beef, then pour in the reduced wine.
Top with the drained beans, then the carrots, garlic and barley. Whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup red wine, tomato paste and honey in a large glass measuring cup and add 2 cups water. Add the water mixture and the beef broth to the cooker. Cover and cook on low for 10 hours.
Stir in the vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley and serve.

CHOLENT

Cholent image

The overnight Jewish stew, cholent, is typically started on Friday afternoon and allowed to cook overnight to be eaten at noon on the Sabbath. It is a flavorful, comforting slurry of beef short ribs, beans, potatoes, onions, honey and smoked paprika. This version is made in a slow cooker so those observing Sabbath need not tend to it.

Time 15h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
1 medium onion, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
1/2 to 1 pound boneless beef short ribs, cut in 1 1/2-inch chunks
Pepper, to taste
3/4 cup pearl barley
1/3 cup dried kidney beans
1/3 cup dried navy beans
1/3 cup dried cranberry beans
3 cups chicken or beef broth
2 tablespoons honey or molasses
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
Salt to taste

Steps:

Line the bottom of a slow cooker with the potatoes, the onion and then the short ribs, sprinkling the meat with pepper to taste.
Scatter the barley and the beans on top, then pour on the broth and the honey or molasses. Sprinkle with the paprika and salt to taste. Add enough water to cover all the ingredients. Cook on low for 12 to 15 hours, stirring occasionally (except during Shabbat, for those who observe it), adding more water if necessary. The longer the cholent cooks, the better it will be.
