INSTRUCTIONS
Soak beans overnight. Fry onions in a little oil until golden brown. Remove from pot and set aside. Put bones, then onions, then meat,then potatoes,then barley and soaked beans. Add cold water just to cover, bring to a boil. Using a heat diffuser(sp?) or what we call a blecht(sp?), turn the heat down to very low and cook the cholent on the blecht for twenty-four hours. Check it while cooking to make sure it doesn't get too dry and to mix it. Try not to add too much water while it's cooking as this tends to dilute the flavors. Some people bake it for the twenty-four hours in a low oven. I don't have a crockpot so you'll have to make your own cooking time adjustments. I also don't always cook it for twenty-four hours. If I'm not going to cook it overnight I put it up early in the morning and let it cook pretty much all day or a few hours before I go to bed, then refrigerate it until I'm ready to eat it. I serve it either with challah or rye bread and lots of sour pickles and sour tomatoes. Enjoy! Posted to Bakery-Shoppe Digest V1 #211 by jstiler@webtv.net (Joyce Stiler) on Aug 31, 1997
