I make chicken soup for shabbos lunch in the crockpot.

I have a crockpot with a timer, so I put in all the ingredients a few hours before shaboos - onions, carrots, potatoes, celery (whatever vegetables you want or have), a small whole chicken (usually 1.5 - 3 pounds), spices (black pepper, paprika, salt, cumin, pinch of cayenne) and water. I cook it on high until just before shabbos starts (to make sure the water is cooking before shabbos), then I turn it to low and set the timer for about 10 hours. After 10 hours, it switches to warm and stays warm until lunch.

At lunchtime, I break it up with the ladle before serving it, but the chicken basically falls off the bone. Because it has cooked with the skin all night, the broth is so rich and filling that a bowl of soup serves as the main course along with salad after appetizers of challah, dips, pickles, egg salad, etc.

I do a brown rice stew sometimes which comes out very good when cooked for about 20 hours.

please post recipe Smile

sticky brown rice stew
-1 cup short grain brown rice (must be short grain, otherwise rice will "bust")
-1/2 onion, chopped
-2 garlic cloves, crushed
-2 tsp salt
-1 tsp teriyaki sauce
-1 piece meat
-4-1/4 cups water
(use only 3 cups water if placing stew in a kitchen collection crockpot liner bag, and put 1 1/4 cups under the bag. If using the Reynolds bags, use full amount of water and do not put any under the bag)

Place all ingredients in crockpot, with meat on top.
Cover and cook on LOW for a little less than 24 hours.

Lamb and Rice Stew

1 Large Onion Chopped
4 Carrots Chopped
2 ½ Cups Rice
2 Tins Chopped tomatoes
5 Cups stock or water : )
2 packets stewing lamb (or can use short ribs or cholent meat- if you don't like the taste of lamb)
OR
2 Packets chicken portions (can combine meat and chicken if you like- I don't but the person who gave me the recipe said you could)

Spices

1 tsp ginger
1 tsp coriander
2 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic salt
Salt and pepper to taste

Place in small bowl and set aside

METHOD

Oil cholent pot or roasting pan with olive oil (like you would a cake tin)
Mix the onions carrots and washed rice, tomatoes and ¾ of the spice mixture-put into pot.
Season the meat or the chicken with the left over spice mixture and place it into the rice mixture. Add stock or water. Put cholent pot on to auto shift ( I put it on low and it was fine Smile

We make this all the time and it is delicious. It has a distinctive taste from the spices.

I used to put in about a lb. Last couple years we don't eat as much so I put in less.

Use frozen garlic cubes.

we dont like cholent, so we put stew in the crockpot! yum!

red potatoes (theyre creamier than regular idaho potatoes), carrots, french cut green beans, onions, garlic, good meat that lasts well in the crockpot (we use something called Finger Meat, I dunno what cut of meat that is)

tomato sauce, water, salt

I've made some really good things from The Indian Crockpot by Anupy Singla. I never made anything from it with the same timing as chulent but I am sure it can be done.

When I started using this cookbook I had to buy some new spices. I make everything much less spicy than she calls for, I leave out all the fresh peppers and short the other spices.
