Moroccan chamin

Potayto, potahto; Chamin, cholent. To many Jews, this recipe may sound very much like the classic Ashkenazi overnight stew - cholent. Chamin is the Sephardic version of cholent, which may alter some ingredients and techniques. Nonetheless, whatever you want to call it - be sure that it will not disappoint, and leave everyone stuffed throughout Shabbat.
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups of chickpeas, soaked in water overnight
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 3 pieces of beef (cut no. 3 - brisket, or cut no. 8 - shin), cut into large chunks (approximately 5 cm cubes)
  • 3 turkey necks
  • 2 chicken thighs
  • 5 peeled potatoes
  • 5 eggs
  • 1/2 cup of oil
  • 1.5 Tablespoons of sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon of turmeric
  • 1 flat teaspoon of ground white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons of chicken broth powder
