Coconut milk?

We mix the Cholent/Hamin/Dafina cultures too; we use both regular and sweet potatoes and a tomato-based broth with garlic/ginger/curry-spices, and sometimes coconut milk. We used to make it with beef, but PETA “ruined” that for us, so until we can get some of the other meat brands like Wise Organic kosher beef locally we make turkey meatballs. Rice wrapped in cheese-cloth and cooked in the pot retains some form without completely turning into glop. I love adding eggs too, but getting the hot eggs peeled to eat is really hard!

I like stealing the Sephardic parts, such as adding the eggs to become browned overnight. I prefer whatever is more health oriented. On the Ashkenazi, you have the pearl barley, not much else.

How about some recipes for the Iraqi, Yemenite, Morrocan dishes? Thanks! I’ve never tried these but if they include Rosewater, I don’t like my food to taste like my perfume.

In my part of the world, it’s known as ‘Adaffina’.
Well, in the Andalucian-Morocco-affiliated section of the globe.
Fast well.

Cholent. definitely cholent. Did I mention my mom’s Iraqi and my dad’s Ukranian so we get Tibit, Hamin, harira, cholent, shakshuka, and gefilte fish every Saturday? It’s like the jewish lottery.
