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
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.

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.
Chanie says
It has to have a blech to put the rice in raw just before shabbos or be half cooked by shabbos
Esti Waldman says
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.
Chanie says
Raw is only if its meat.

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)
Sara says
Has anyone tried doing this in the oven?
