Recipe - Chicken Cholent

One half cup Aduki beans (up to 3/4)
One half cup Baby lima beans
4 Chicken quarters (legs and
thighs) (up to 6)
Salt and pepper to taste
Garlic and paprika to taste
2 Potatoes, quartered
1 Sweet potato, cut into thick
slices
1 Onion, quartered
1 Carrot, peeled and quartered
One half cup Barley
One fourth cup Wheat berries (up to 1/3)
3 tablespoon Tamari soy sauce (up to 5)
1 Bay leaf

Use a 6quart pot.

Here are two recipes from Spice and Spirit published by Lubavitch Women's
Cookbook Publications ( a most wonderful cookbook!)

While this first contains 2 quartered potatoes, you could just leave them
out, or substitute additional beans or sweet potatoes.

The night before you prepare this dish, put all the beans in a large bowl
and cover with cold water. Allow to soak overnight. Before cooking, drain
beans and discard any stories and driedout beans.

Season chicken with spices, s & p (if desired cumin and coriander can also
be used). Place chicken on bottom of pot. Add potatoes, sweet potato,
onion, carrot and drained beans. Add water to cover. Add barley and wheat
berries.

Bring cholent to boil. Add tamari and bay leaf and simmer for at least one
and a half hours. Add water when necessary, making sure water is one inch
above ingredients. Place on blech before Shabbat. Keep pot tightly covered.

Variation, substitute one pound veal and one pound flanken for the chicken.
