The 7 Species-Shtetl Fusion Cholent

Trying to expand the Top-Chef inspired cooking repertoire from the Mediterranean-Shtetl Fusion

There are  7 traditional species of Israel, so tomorrow's cholent has the following ingredients. We'll see how it goes

  • Rib steak (which I seared beforehand)
  • grilled onions
  • olive oil
  • pomegranate juice
  • dates
  • grapes
  • figs
  • barley
  • bread crumbs (wheat)
  • mayonnaise (for texture)
  • turmeric
  • cinnamon
  • pepper
  • sauteed garlic cloves
  • saffron
  • a few apricots
  • pinch of ginger
  • 2 sweet potatoes
It'll either be great...or a disaster.

Updated: ok, it was neither great, but not a disaster. It smelled great, but the taste lacked punch or "kick."  There's potential, but needs works
