Guest guest Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I am not a big cholent fan, but I do like this. VEGETARIAN CHOLENT 2-3 sweet potatoes 1 large onion 1 turnip or parsnip 2 stalks celery 2 carrots 1 potato (I use 2 or three yukon golds) 1 1/2 cups mixed beans (any dried beans are fine) 1/2 cup brown rice 4-5 dates (chopped) 1 T oil water garlic cinnamon (optional) honey (I use agave nectar, but just a teeny drop) soy sauce or braggs or tamari salt and pepper Cut vegetables into large chunks and saute in oil. Add rice, beans and water to cover. Simmer until beans are soft (depending on the beans, this could be 1-4 hours), add dates and season to taste. I have also made this in the crockpot; one of my friends uses a pressure cooker and makes this in under an hour.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 You are welcome. I just remembered that I use ginger instead of the cinnamon. --- On Fri, 2/20/09, Carol <descartesmum wrote: Carol <descartesmum Re: cholent/Carol Friday, February 20, 2009, 4:37 AM Thanks Robin, I'll give it a go.
