NOTES:
* European Jewish traditional sabbath stew -- This is a food that
religious Jewish people eat on Saturday afternoon. Religious people do not
cook on Saturday, so this food must be put on the stove on Friday, before
sunset. It then cooks overnight, filling the house with a delicious aroma,
until after services Saturday afternoon. Shabbos means "Saturday" in
Hebrew, and choulnt means "a mishmosh" in Yiddish. (choulnt in fact comes
originally from the French chaud lent which means "warm slowly") The amount
of each ingredient depends on what taste one likes, how much is available,
and the tradition handed down by one's parents or Rebbitzin (Rabbi's wife).
Yield: Serves 4-6.
* Variations: Some communities add some eggs (in the shell), and lots of
curry. (in which case it is called Chamin, which means "warm food.")
: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: 15 minutes preparation, 1 day cooking.
: Precision: no need to measure.
