Ashure, also called Noah's pudding, is a sweet pudding made from a mixture of grains, dried and fresh fruits and nuts, traditionally containing at least seven ingredients such as wheat, barley, rice, beans, chickpeas, dried fruit and nuts. It is prepared for different occasions across several cultures: Muslims in Turkey and the Balkans make it during Muharram for the Day of Ashura, Armenians serve it as a Christmas and New Year dish, and Sephardic Jews prepare it for Tu BiShvat. According to tradition the dish traces back to Noah and his family using their remaining food stores after the ark landed, which is the source of its alternate name.
