How can I thicken the broth during Pesach?
So it stayed well for a Pesachdik cholent? I am hoping to do the same. Did you add more liquid? I find Pesachdik chulents to be too watery
How much water
A terrific recipe. I made it as a pesahdik cholent without the mustard powder in my new crockpot and it got raves. I’m going to try it out as a vegetarian recipe as well.
