Ashure

Ashure, Aşure, Anoushabour, Noah's pudding or Trigo koço is a sweet pudding eaten in parts of Western Asia and the Balkans that is made of a mixture consisting of various types of grains, fresh and dried fruits, and nuts. In Turkey and Balkans, Alevis and Sufi Muslims make the dish during the month of Muharram in which the Day of Ashure takes place. Armenians make it as a Christmas pudding and for New Year's celebrations, where it is a centerpiece, Sephardic Jews prepare the dish to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Tu BiShvat. In some Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions, a similar dish is prepared to commemorate a child's first tooth, or the passing of a family member. 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. The dish is traditionally made in large quantities 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.
