I don't celebrate Shabbos but my homemade cholent is very good

beef

🥗Healthier: chicken

💰Cheaper: pork

barley

🥗Healthier: quinoa

💰Cheaper: rice

Quinoa offers a protein boost while rice is often less expensive.

potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: yams

Sweet potatoes are more nutritious, while yams can be cheaper.

onions

🥗Healthier: leeks

💰Cheaper: shallots

Leeks provide a milder flavor, while shallots can be less costly.

Layer cholent mix (beans), pearled barley, and diced red potatoes in a large pot.

Add chunks of beef stew and chopped onions on top of the layers.

Sprinkle minced garlic, carrots, and spices (salt, pepper, paprika, smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne) over the mixture.

Pour chicken stock or water over the ingredients until just covered.

Cover the pot tightly with a lid or foil.

Place the pot in the oven and cook slowly for 12-24 hours.
