Ashure [1](in Turkish: Aşure) or Noah's Pudding is a Turkish dessert that is made of a mixture consisting of grains, fruits and nuts. It is served during the first month of the Islamic calender, Muharrem, on the Tenth of Muharrem, or day of Ashure. "Ashura" means "tenth" in Arabic. Ashure is a part of the culinary tradition of Turkey as well as many of the surrounding countries, and Christian and Jewish cultures as well as Muslim share similar versions under a variety of names.
Its anecdotal history it is claimed that when Noah's Ark came to rest on Mount Ararat in northeastern Turkey, Noah's family celebrated with a special dish. Since their supplies were nearly exhausted, what was left (primarily grains, dried fruits and the like) was cooked together to form a pudding, what is now call Ashure. In Sunni Islam the tenth of Muharrem is an official fast day, corresponding to the tenth day of the first month of the Mosaic calender which is Yom Kippur.[2][3][4][5] The Tenth of Muharrem Day of Ashura also marks the end of the Battle of Karbala is a special day of observance in Shia Islam. Ashura is "tenth" in Arabic, namely the tenth day of Muharrem. Ashure is observed by most sects of Islam and especially by sufi orders where the ashure pudding is prepared with special prayers.
Traditionally, Ashure is made in large quantities to commemorate the ark's landing and is distributed to friends, relatives, neighbors, colleagues, classmates, etc. without regard to the recipient's religion or belief system as an offering of peace and love. Ashure was traditionally made and eaten during the colder months of the year as it is calorie rich fare, but now it is enjoyed year-round.
Ingredients
Ashure pudding does not have a single recipe, as recipes vary between regions and families.[6]
Traditionally, it is said to have at least seven ingredients. Some say at least ten ingredients in keeping with the theme of "tenth." Among these are wheat, rice, beans, chick peas, sugar (or other sweetener), dried fruits, and nuts, though there are many variants. However, many renditions add orange and lemon peel to add depth to the pudding. Condiments such as sesame seeds, pomegranate kernels, and rose water, as well as cinnamon are placed on top before serving. There are renditions of ashure containing lentils as well.
