Ashure (Turkish: Aşure) or Noah 's Pudding is a Turkish dessert porridge that is made of a mixture consisting of grains, fruits, dried fruits and nuts. In Turkey it is served all year around, especially during Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar, as the 10th of Muharrem corresponds to the Day of Ashure. (" Ashura " is Arabic for "tenth".)
Ashure is one of the few Turkish desserts which contain no animal products. According to Turkish Muslim belief, the pudding is a result of Prophet Noah who put all the remaining fruits, seeds, grain and peulvruchten. One reason behind it is arguably protesting all kinds of violence and bloodshed. In Turkey, Muslims are the prominent group associated with this pudding, traditionally cooking and sharing it following the days of fasting.
Traditionally, ashure is made in large quantities to commemorate the ark 's landing and is distributed to friends, relatives, neighbors, colleagues, classmates, and others, 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 due to its heavy and calorie rich nature, but now it is enjoyed year-round.
Etymology
The word Ashure come from Arabic word Ashura Arabic: عاشوراء ʻĀshūrā’, meaning 'tenth'. In Turkish tradition, this dish is made mostly on 10th of Muharram or after 10th of Muharram in Islamic Lunar Calendar.
