- Reviews 3
Ready In: 12 hrs 10 mins
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 1 -2 lb beef, cubed (do not use lean meat, chicken is a less acceptable substitute)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 6 medium potatoes, peeled (cut into halves only if extremely large, otherwise whole)
- 6 eggs, in shell
- 2 cups dried pinto beans (not canned) or 2 cups dried lima beans (not canned) or 2 cups dried kidney beans (not canned) or 2 cups dried cranberry beans (not canned) or 2 cups lentils (not canned)
- 1⁄4 cup barley
- 15 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon sweet paprika
- 1 tablespoon hot paprika or 1 tablespoon cayenne
- 4 tablespoons instant chicken-style consomme soup and seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1⁄2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
Optional
- kishke, wrapped in foil (also called stuffed derma)
Directions
- Combine all ingredient in a large crock pot (eggs on top), and add water to cover 1-2 inches above.
- Cook on high for 2 hours, then reduce heat to low, and continue to cook overnight and into the daytime, for a total cooking time of approximately 12-14 hours (It will be ready to eat before 12 hours of cooking time, but tastes the best when cooked for a very long time)
- Note: You can increase or decrease the amount of spices as per your liking. You can even add a dash of ginger and allspice. Avoid the urge to stir this - your potatoes will break into a mush.
