About Cholent

Cholent is a traditional Jewish stew, originally designed to adhere to Sabbath cooking restrictions. This dish slowly simmers overnight and is typically made with a combination of beans (such as kidney or navy beans), barley, potatoes, and various cuts of meat like beef brisket. Some variations may include onions, carrots, or eggs cooked in the broth. Originating in Ashkenazi cuisine, Cholent is beloved for its hearty, rich flavors and comforting texture. Nutritionally, it offers protein from the meat and beans, fiber from legumes and barley, and energy from the starches. However, it can be calorie-dense and high in saturated fat depending on the choice of meat and quantity of oil used. Cholent can be made healthier with leaner cuts of meat and extra vegetables. As a slow-cooked meal, it delivers wholesome convenience, perfect for gatherings or weekly traditions.
