How many dishes are required for the Shabbat meal

Question

Can I initially make a Shabbat meal with only cholent, noting that it involves high-quality meats, and we really don't like fish?

Answer

There is an idea that there should be two dishes on Shabbat. It is sufficient to make an additional cooked salad or something similar.
