gefilte fish – I put the log in a pan with a carrot and an onion (whole), and onion powder, salt and black pepper. Pour boiling water in the pan and let it bubble on a low flame for about an hour. I slice it and the carrot once it’s cooked, and I don’t keep the onion.
Cholent (on Thursday night) – fry onions till soft, then add cholent meat, LOTS of: paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper and brown the meat together with the onions. In the crockpot I put cubed potatoes, boiling water. Then I add the browned meat and pre-soaked beans (but I don’t put a lot of beans in). On friday I add the barley, otherwise it dries out the cholent.
