Cholent - Chamin
In Israel we call it Chamin, as it stays hot in the oven. Every ethnic group has its own cholent recipe. Some do it with chick peas others with rice or beans. It is very satisfying and as it’s hot we only eat it when it is cold outside. Try varying the cholent dish by using different kind of beans (Lima, black, kidney etc.) When using more than one kind of beans in one and the same dish, put every kind into a separate cooking bag. Use your fantasy and add vegetables (especially root vegetables) use chicken instead of beef, or seasoning to your taste. Ingredients
