cholent

Lately I've been craving cholent. The problem is, I no longer eat red meat. Does anyone have a recipe for a vegetarian cholent, or possibly one with chicken?

Boy, was I surprised to see this post revived!

The smoked turkey leg sounds like just the ticket for a great cholent. As soon as I find one, I will cook up a mess of cholent and report back on it. Thank you!

I would try some duck, or maybe some smoked turkey - Hod Golan makes prepared smoked turkey breast and smoked turkey legs - try throwing both those in for a nice smoky flavor without the meat.

I think a good cholent could be made with turkey thighs or, better yet, smoked turkey thighs. Just sub for whatever meat you would otherwise use.

I use the same recipe and just substitute chicken for beef. good luck!

You might want to check out two cookbooks, both by Kay Kantor Pomerantz. One is called "Come for Cholent". The other is called "Come for Cholent---again". There are plenty of variations in these books that will please you.
Your post has gotten me in the mood, so thank you!
Cheers,

Seems to me that without the brisket it'd still be a nice savory stew. Try putting all the ingredients together and cooking it overnight and see what flavorings it needs at the end.

In Claudia Roden's Book of Jewish Food, she mentions that some people add smoked or preserved goose. You could end up with cholent cassoulet.
