Throw Everything into One Pot

Cholent is a traditional Jewish Sabbath dish. It is characterized by combination of beans, barley, and carrots that give it its slightly sweet taste. By Jewish law it is not allowed to heat a dish on Sabbath, therefore cholent stays on low heat from Friday evening and when it is served, the ingredients are very well cooked.

1 cup mixture of kidney beans, navy beans, and black-eyed beans

1/2 cup barley grain
300 gr potatoes
150 gr carrots
2 tbsp ginger
1 tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp cumin seeds
1 1/2 tsp salt

1 bunch parsley

Soak beans for 3 hours or overnight in 3 cups of water.

Dice potatoes into 2 cm size cubes, cut carrots into disks 1/2 cm thick and add to the pot. Add finely chopped ginger, pepper, cumin, and salt. Cook for 40 minutes more.
