Vegetarian Cholent

[Guest guest]

Someone in another group was looking for this; I thought that some of you may

enjoy this.  It is a great " comfort food " .

 

For those of you not familiar with cholent, it it traditionally eaten for lunch

in Jewish homes on Shabbat.

 

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

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.
