Easier on the stomach even for those who don’t have a gluten free diet, this risotto still has the classic Shabbos taste!
We got this recipe from our friend who got it from her friend, who got it from her friend who created it because she wanted a lighter cholent.
While some of us were skeptical, we agreed to give it a try.
You know what? When the guys request “the new kind of cholent you made last week” to be made again, it’s a winner!
And the super simple prep makes it a perfect fit for Between Carpools.
Gluten Free Beef Risotto
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- ½ to 1 lb sautéed onions (Frozen onion cubes work very well)
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1-2 lbs cheek meat
- ¾ cup arborio rice
- ¼ cup brown rice
- 1 cup water
- ¼ tsp Black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Place onions, meat and broth in a slow cooker on low. Cook for 6-10 hours.
- Add rice and water and cook for at least 2 more hours.
- When serving for the first time, adjust seasoning to your family’s taste. Keep this in mind for future weeks.
When preparing for Shabbos, do the first step on Friday morning.
When preparing for Shabbos, add the rice and water immediately before Shabbos.
Notes
Our friend prepares lots of sautéed onions at a time (try our oven method) and freezes them in one pound containers.
Please check with your Rav regarding putting raw rice into your chulent right before shabbos. I think your food needs to be almost cooked before shabbos.
It has to have a blech to put the rice in raw just before shabbos or be half cooked by shabbos
We recommend that everyone discuss this with their own LOR, but the general rule is that food must be fully cooked before Shabbos or completely raw. We are not going to pasken halacha for the public, so please do your own research.
Raw is only if its meat.
Do you keep it on low or lower to keep warm? Thanks!
This recipe looks delicious.

Can I use any kind of rice?
Hi, is there an alternative meat I can use for the cheek meat? Ty!!
How to make this without a crock-pot?
Nice
Hi. Thank you for this pos. I also make a really good gluten free cholent using brown rice. The recipe that I use calls for onions, potatoes, flanken, brown rice, beans, ketchup and spices. Cover with water.
I put it in crock pot Thursday night on low and Friday morning switch to keep warm. It’s delicious and doesn’t make you feel so heavy.
( I have used white rice if I didn’t have brown rice handy, it also tastes good)
Has anyone tried doing this in the oven?
Everyone loved this recipe at home. Definitely it’s our new best chulent recipe !
Has anyone made this in Israel? Which number meat did you use?
Can I switch to high if I want it to cook faster after I add the rice ?
Hi, what setting do you leave the crockpot on for Shabbos? (When serving it for Shabbos lunch)?
Can this be made in the oven?
This was so yummy!!! I put everything in the crockpot at the same time (rice included) on Friday morning, and turned it on low. Only did about 2-3 cups of water because that’s all that would fit in our tiny crockpot. Was delicious!! Just the kind of creaminess I was looking for in a cholent without beans and barley. We couldn’t wait to enjoy again for Melave Malka! Thanks for an exciting and gourmet-tasting new cholent recipe!
