Here it goes -- :
-
2
Heat pot on the stove - and place meat to fry and seal. Turn the meat to seal it all over. Use a large pot, suitable for the oven as well (I use oval).
-
3
Pour boiled water to half the height of the meat.
-
4
Place the soaked rinsed beans on one side of the pot -.
-
5
Place potatoes on the other side.
-
6
Insert barley into cooking bag (preferable made of cloth).
-
7
On top of beans and potatoes, arrange meat, onions, garlic, cooking bag with barley and the sweet potato - try to even out the height. If you want eggs, this is the time to insert them as well.
-
8
I usually add Kosher Kishka (stuffed darma, has less than 30% fat)- I couldn't add it to the ingredients as the program cannot recognize this food -- -).
-
9
Dilute honey with some warm tab water - and pour all over.
-
10
Dilute salt with some warm tab water - and pour all over.
-
11
Dilute the sweet paprika with some warm tab water - and pour all over.
-
12
Add boiled water to cover it all, make sure it's at least one inch above ingredients.
-
13
Scatter tea bags. (See picture for the prepared pot.).
-
14
Preheat oven to 250 F (120 C).
-
15
Bring to boil on stove.
-
16
Reduce heat and allow cooking with gentle boil for at least two hours.
-
17
Move the pot to the oven.
-
18
Make sure to check on the Chamin and add water if necessary. The water reduces but it mustn't get dry.
-
19
At night, reduce oven's heat to 215 F (100 C).
-
20
Check first thing in the morning!
-
21
See if you need to add some water and reduce or increase oven's heat.
-
22
The smell already drives everybody nuts -- soon, soon - we'll all sit and enjoy a great Chamin.

Serving:: When you open the pot, everything is arranged in the same order you put it inches Take out cooking bag with barley, open it carefully and pour barley into a serving bowl. Add some of the Chamin's liquids onto barley. Put garlic aside - some like it some don't. Take out each ingredient to a different serving dish or bowl, and pour Chamin's liquids. You'll have several dishes and bowl on the table: meat, beans, barley, potatoes, sweet potato, onion, kishke, (eggs) -- See pictures.
