This actually came from a recipe book compiled by the wife of a British officer serving in the British Army during the Mandate in Palestine.
It is always a hit with whatever meat I am using,including chicken and you would never guess that the secret ingredient is coffee!! It makes a wonderful dark brown, flavorful gravy. Beteyavon!!

Was wondering how this recipe turned out in the slow cooker? Do any changes need to be made? Was hoping to make it this week
I don’t think so, it should work well.
Thank you for replying so quickly.
Have a great Shabbos
Hi Liba,
I would just set my crockpot to low and it should be fine. There’s enough liquid if it’s in a crockpot. Ariela, I would make sure the pot isn’t too big as a large surface area may cause liquid/sauce to evaporate too quickly. The meat should fit into a deepis pot with about an inch – 1 1/2 ” space all round. Hope that helps.
I have the same question as Liba.
I bought a French Roast and would like to have it for Shabbos lunch. Is it possible to cook it in a pot and place on the blech till the morning, will it dry out?
what should /i do if i want to keep it in crock pot til shabbat lunch?
