HAMIN
Introduction
This Sephardic version of cholent perfectly illustrates how much Jews from all over the world had in common. The dish derives from peasant habits of using and processing leftover products. Nowadays, we happen to call it zero waste, and all versions of this popular Sabbath casserole combine economy and respect for food. Hamin (also known as adafina) and cholent do not have a uniform recipe and leave plenty of room for coming up with your own combinations, which we encourage you to do.

Preparation method
Step 1
Layer the onions, potatoes, carrots and garlic on the bottom of the large slow cooker. Place the wheat and chickpea grains over the vegetables, then the marrow bones and the beef.
Step 2
Put in the whole eggs, while being careful not to crush them.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine honey, tomato puree, cumin, smoked and sweet paprika, cinnamon, paprika flakes, salt, pepper and 240 ml (8,11 us fl oz) of water until completely combined. Pour the ingredients over in the slow cooker, then add just enough water to cover the meat, chickpeas and vegetables (do not stir). Simmer until the stew becomes thick, 10-12 hours. Serve hot.
Bon appetit!
