Entree Recipes

This chicken and rice stew originated with the Cochini Jews in Kerala, India.

This stew originates in the southern Iranian city of Shiraz, and its name is one of the more interesting ones among the world’s Shabbat stews.

This recipe mixes various influences from the Sephardi diaspora while avoiding meat. It works well on its own, but is even better as a base for experimenting with different flavors.

Many American Jews with Ashkenazi roots would see this as the “standard” cholent recipe. I see this recipe as more of a base than a complete recipe.
