Can I make cholent without barley? will it be too watery?
Does anyone leave it out on a regular basis?

Lately I have been putting in wheat kernels instead of barley - they look similar to barley when they are raw but they are a better texture when cooked.

I never use barley. I know just the amount of water to put in so it's not watery and not dry.

My mother used to put farfel in instead. It tasted great.
I've tried brown rice but I didn't like the texture.

My mother never put barley in her cholent - she used split peas!

Her cholent was deeeeeliiiiiish!!!!!

It was never thick thick like barley cholent, but it was never too thin either - it was a perfect cross between thick and thin (always served in a bowl though, not a plate).

I put in the boil in bag rice. Put the whole bag in uncooked. The bag will soak up water and cook the rice then you serve as a seperate side dish.

Pesach cholent is always delicious - no barley there.
As long as you have a good base of sauteed onion (minimum oil if fleishig), flavor will be there and you can experiment with ingredients.

I've put in oat groats (the whole oat grain, oval shaped. ) it was yummy. Also quinoa, but that sort of melted into the mixture.

Lately though I skip the barley altogether-the potatoes have enough carbs.

A wild rice mix works great.
