Jul 26, Crock Pot Brisket Recipe - Jewish Cholent Sabbath Lunch

This Crock Pot Brisket Recipe is served for Sabbath lunch.

It's call Cholent and is one of the better Jewish brisket recipes.

A crock pot is not necessary but it's the ideal cooking vessel.

Cholent is traditional Jewish food with an unknown origin. It is, however, hundreds of years old. It's development came about because of the Jewish laws that prohibit cooking on the Sabbath.

The dish is started on Friday before the Sabbath begins and kept hot in the slow cooker to be eaten the following day.

This particular Jewish brisket recipe is ideal for that task because the longer it cooks the better it tastes.

In addition to brisket the dish includes potatoes, beans and barley, which not only adds flavor and texture but also makes it extremely frugal. A little beef is stretched with veggies to feed a lot of people.

2 cloves garlic, minced

Cook on High for 1 hour. Then, turn to Low and continue cooking for another 7 hours.

Good to Know: The amount of potatoes called for in the recipe sounds like a lot but don't use less. They are incredible.

On Your Own: During my research I've encountered recipes that include adding in shell washed eggs. When the dish is ready the eggs are shelled and even though they are very dark colored they are reportedly delicious. I'll try that sometime.

In my opinion this recipe is among the best of all the Jewish brisket recipes. However, even if you're not Jewish, you really should try this Crock Pot Brisket Recipe. It's absolutely delicious!
