Cholent is a delicious dish but sometimes too full of simple carbohydrates and animal fats to be healthy for the body (still good for the soul). This version uses a mixture of wild and brown rice, olive oil, and lentils as well as a little bit of meat and some new potatoes. The long, slow cooking transforms the ingredients into a flavorful porridge reminescent of congee. Stirring in the slow roasted tomatoes at the end provides a vibrant flavor to offset the melded flavors of the long cooked ingredients.
