Cook’s Note: My grandmother loves to use beans as an ingredient in most of her recipes. My favorite dish that she makes is beef cholent. She always makes this dish in the winter, and I can’t eat enough of it.
(A Traditional Jewish Cholent is a main dish for the Shabbat meal, slow-cooked beef with potato, beans and brown eggs in a pot)
