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
