Life Changing Parve Cholent

36

Before you do a double take, I’ll confirm.

Yes, this cholent is really meatless.

Yes, it is absolutely bangin’.

And yes,

I did compliment myself there.

Even Papi Lichtenstein had TWO heaping bowls when he usually keeps things pretty light.

Is that convincing enough for you?

For those who don’t know, cholent is a hearty, warm, delicious stew. Typically it’s full of barley, beans, meat and potatoes for the ultimate comforting meal. Many people make it in a slow cooker to have hot food for Shabbos lunch, although I like to believe comfort food is welcome any day of the week.

This parve spin on the classic, essentially a vegan bean stew for those who insist it’s not real cholent, is perfect for a meatless dinner or if you’re having vegetarian/vegan friends over for lunch.
