Vegetarian Cholent

If you are not familiar with it, cholent is a delicious, hearty dish that Orthodox Jews often cook on Shabbat because it keeps warm on a low burning stove or a hot pot all day and night. This is a vegetarian version of course of what is typically a very carnivorous dish. This is adapated slightly based on my experimentation, but mostly lifted from: https://www.joyofkosher.com/recipes/vegetarian-cholent-with-kishke/

Protein: Beans

Ingredients:
3 Yellow onions, chopped
2 big fat carrots, peeled and chopped
6-8 dried figs
4 cans beans (kidney, black, white, pinto or a combination)
1/2 cup pearl barley
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 Tbsp paprika
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
3/4 cup BBQ sauce
3-4 cups water.

Combine in a slow cooker and cook on high overnight. To be really authentic, toss in some washed eggs (shell on) to enjoy with this later.
