Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Soak beans overnight.
  2. Drain and pick out any stones.
  3. Place beans in an 8 quart pot or Dutch oven and cover the top of the beans with 2 inches of water.
  4. Sear the beef roast and leave whole.
  5. Place beef roast and beef bones into pot.
  6. Dice the onions and mince the garlic, chop parsley or cilantro.
  7. *I omit this step and just add everything chopped.
  8. Note: I know of some people who place the remaining ingredients except for potatoes in a blender or food processor and blend. I prefer not to and to leave everything whole.
  9. Pour mixture over meat and bring to a boil.
  10. Reduce heat to a low simmer and allow to cook for 3 hours.
  11. Add potatoes and allow to cook for one hour more.
  12. Before Shabbos, place the pot on the blech and add one inch of water above the ingredients.
  13. For a pareve cholent omit the meat and meat bones.
  14. Serves 4-6
  15. Note: A blech is a Yiddish word for tin or sheet metal. It is a metal sheet used by many observant Jews to cover stovetop burners (and for some, the knobs or dials too) on Shabbat (the Jewish Sabbath), as part of the precautions taken to avoid violating the halachic prohibition against cooking on the Sabbath by stirring the fire.
