Aşure brings together wheat, chickpeas, dried beans, dried fruits and nuts — a traditional Turkish dessert symbolizing the month of Muharrem. Packed with ingredients, it's meant to be shared at crowded tables.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Boil the grains and legumes

30 min

Boil the wheat, chickpeas, and dried beans, each soaked overnight, separately until tender.

2

Simmer with the dried fruit

25 min

Transfer the boiled wheat, chickpeas, and beans along with their water into a large pot; add the dried apricots, figs, and raisins, and bring to a boil.

3

Thicken with sugar

25 min

Add the sugar and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until it reaches the consistency of aşure.

4

Chill and serve

20 min

Divide the aşure among bowls and let cool at room temperature; serve cold, garnished with walnuts, hazelnuts, optional pomegranate seeds, and cinnamon.

Reminder

Important: Soak the wheat in plenty of water the night before, otherwise the cooking time will be longer and the grains will stay hard. Allergen: contains nuts (hazelnuts, walnuts); contains gluten due to wheat. Can be kept in the refrigerator in a sealed container for four days.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Stir the aşure frequently while it boils so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot; if it gets thicker than you'd like, you can thin it with hot water.
