Ingredients
- 150 g wheat berries
- 2250 ml water
- 75 g dried chickpeas
- 75 g dried white beans
- 100 g dried figs
- 100 g dried apricots
- 100 g sultanas
- 175 g caster sugar
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 3 cloves
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder to garnish
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts, pistachio or hazelnuts (to garnish)
Instructions
- Soak the wheat berries, dried chickpeas and white beans separately overnight.
- In a large pot, combine the wheat berries with 2250 ml of water.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about an hour and 15 minutes, or until the wheat berries are tender.
- While the wheat is cooking, drain the chickpeas and white beans, then cook them separately in fresh water until they’re tender. This will take about an hour to an hour and 15 minutes for each.
- While the grains and legumes are cooking, chop the dried figs and apricots into small pieces.
- Once the wheat berries are cooked, add the drained chickpeas and white beans to the pot. Cooking times can vary based on the produce, which is why it's best to cook everything separately and combine them once they are all tender.
- Stir in the softened dried fruits (figs, apricots, and sultanas, cinnamon sticks, and cloves.
- Add the caster sugar gradually, until you are pleased with the level of the sweetness. You might not need all the sugar stated in the recipe.
- Continue to simmer the mixture on low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Remove the cinnamon sticks and cloves from the pot, and spoon the Ashure into serving bowls.
- Let the Ashure cool to room temperature before serving. Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon powder over each bowl and top with chopped walnuts, pistachios, or hazelnuts for a lovely crunch.
Notes
- The key to a great Ashure is starting with high-quality ingredients. Fresh nuts, plump dried fruits, and good-quality grains and legumes will make all the difference in the final dish.
- Soak your grains and legumes adequately to ensure they cook evenly. Take your time during the cooking process to develop rich flavors and perfect texture.
- Cook the wheat, chickpeas, and dried white beans in separate pots. Remember, they all have different cooking times!
- While cooking the dried beans, chickpeas, and wheat berries, remove all the foam that rises to the surface.
