Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preparation (Overnight): In separate bowls, soak bulgur, garbanzo beans, white beans, and raisins in water overnight to soften.

02

Step

Cook the Beans (1.5 - 2 hours): The next day, combine the soaked garbanzo beans and white beans in a saucepan, cover with fresh water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until the beans are tender.

03

Step

Cook the Bulgur (Approx. 15 minutes): Drain the soaked bulgur and transfer it to a large saucepan. Add 15 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the bulgur is tender and the mixture begins to thicken, skimming off any foam that forms.

04

Step

Combine and Simmer (Approx. 15 minutes): Once the bulgur has thickened, stir in the sugar until dissolved. Add the cooked garbanzo and white beans, drained raisins, dried apricots, chopped orange peel, and cloves. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the pudding thickens further and the fruits are tender.

05

Step

Garnish and Cool: Pour the Ashure into individual serving bowls. Garnish generously with toasted sesame seeds, chopped walnuts, chopped pistachios, dried currants, and a dusting of ground cinnamon. Allow the pudding to cool completely before serving.

For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar.
Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference.
Feel free to add other dried fruits or nuts, such as figs, almonds, or hazelnuts.
Ashure is traditionally made in large quantities to share with family and friends.
