Time 12h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 -2 lb beef, cubed (do not use lean meat, chicken is a less acceptable substitute)
1 onion, chopped
6 medium potatoes, peeled (cut into halves only if extremely large, otherwise whole)
6 eggs, in shell
2 cups dried cranberry beans (not canned) or 2 cups lentils (not canned)
1/4 cup barley
15 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 tablespoon hot paprika or 1 tablespoon cayenne
4 tablespoons instant chicken-style consomme soup and seasoning mix
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
kishke, wrapped in foil (also called stuffed derma)

Steps:

Combine all ingredient in a large crock pot (eggs on top), and add water to cover 1-2 inches above.
Cook on high for 2 hours, then reduce heat to low, and continue to cook overnight and into the daytime, for a total cooking time of approximately 12-14 hours (It will be ready to eat before 12 hours of cooking time, but tastes the best when cooked for a very long time)
Note: You can increase or decrease the amount of spices as per your liking. You can even add a dash of ginger and allspice. Avoid the urge to stir this - your potatoes will break into a mush.
