For Friday night soup/one pot meal, I cook winter squashes in the oven or microwave, then puree, add chicken and garam masala, brown sugar and cinnamon or cumin and cook until the chicken is almost done. Remove the chicken, place both in the fridge. Fri. am remove the fat from the soup and add the chicken. Late afternoon heat for Friday night and serve remainder cold for lunch. Can eat this as a one pot meal or remove the chicken and serve over brown rice. After checking for bugs and cleaning, boil fresh cauliflower in a pot of water with a tsp. of sugar or honey for 6 minutes or until a little tender. Thin a few tbs. of tahini with water and season with your choice of spices such as garam masala, cumin, nutmeg, or just a little sea salt. Drizzle over the cauliflower and serve warm or cold. My cholent is more like soup, without barley or rice. The meat is cooked in a separate crock pot bag with only dry seasonings, tied and put into the crock pot. This seems to keep the meat from overcooking so much. Instead of kuguls I prepare a large variety of vegetables. My mantra is live by food or die by food. We need an international movement to gear us towards healthy foods at all of our kiddushes, simchas, seudas, and so on.
