Beef Cholent #1

Ingredients:

1/2 cup dry kidney beans
1/2 cup dry navy beans
1/2 cup dry other beans (lima, black, etc.)
3 potatoes
1 lb stew meat (with bones best)
1/2 cup barley
1 large onion
3-4 cloves garlic
paprika (Hungarian is best)
salt
pepper

Directions:

This takes 2 days to make, but is a very tasty dish. It has a thick, stew-like consistency, with a lot of fiber and flavor.

The night before you are going to make the Cholent, place the dry beans in a large bowl and cover with water. cover the bowl and place aside. In the morning, drain the water. Cut up the potatoes to a size you would like. Chop the onion very coarsely and slice the garlic.

Seat the meat then season with paprika, salt and pepper.

Put the meat into your crock pot or soup pot. Add the rest of the ingredients and cover with water plus 1-2 inches above food. Put the crock pot or stove on high heat until the water starts to boil and then lower the flame. Turn the heat down to low on the crock pot or lower the flame on the stove.

Let cook overnight and serve for lunch or dinner the next day.

Notes:

This is a traditional Jewish Shabbat meal.
