Cholent with Beef Brisket
This is a variation, worked out over many, many years of
trial and error, of several recipes from The Art of Jewish
Cooking by Jennie Grossinger. In my opinion the only way
to have the lima bean flavor permeate the other ingredients
(which is the way a cholent should taste) is to use the
slow-cook method. We have a cholent party every winter that
our non-Jewish friends look forward to
