AŞURE! 👩‍🍳🇹🇷/ THANK YOU STEEMFOODS 🙏

Hi!

---

Today I will be sharing with you a recipe that has an important place for Muslims. Muslims make this Dessert on certain dates of the year, pray and distribute it to their neighbors. The name of this spiritual Dessert is ASHURE. The beginning of the story of Ashura is narrated as follows;

HZ. The NUH's ship remains in the waters for months. Over time, the food on the ship begins to run out. On top of that, all the sweet and salty foods left behind are combined in a saucepan and cooked. This recipe, which has been a tradition since then, is called ASHURE.

Especially at the time of the Ottoman Empire, the day of Ashura was given great importance. Even today, special preparations and prayers are read on Ashura days. So much so that today is very important to me. I make it every year and distribute it to my neighbors. But something I never expected happened this year, dear @alikoc07 eached me and said that he was running a fundraiser and wanted to send me 2 SBDs. With the money he sent, I went and bought Ashura materials. Thus, I wanted the prayers to go to Mr. @alikoc07 and the whole STEEMFOOD family. Isn't it very interesting, thousands of people from all over the world are in a single prayer!

This year I did it in a much more meaningful way and offered my most sincere prayers. I would like to thank @alikoc07 for the last time for this beautiful, meaningful donation and move on to my recipe. 🙏

First of all, I would like to point out that if you are going to do Ashura, you will have to spare 2 days for it! The day before, we wash the wheat until the yellow water runs clear, fill it with water in a saucepan and wait for it to soften until the morning.

Since wheat is cooked very hard, keeping it in water until morning like this makes our job much easier. When you wake up in the morning, check if it is not swollen and softened enough, let it wait a little longer.

Now we move on to the cooking process. We filter the wheat that we soak in water and add clean water to it. Then we take it to the stove and start cooking. The amount of water is not important, always have your hot water ready at the edge. Because a lot of water is lost during cooking. We will add from time to time.

After cooking the wheat in this way for 1 hour in a controlled manner, we add chickpeas and rice and continue cooking. Since I use boiled chickpeas, I did not cook beforehand. We wait for it to cook for another 30 minutes in this way.

At the end of the time, we add dried apricots, sugar and salt and let it cook for another 30 minutes. Since the color of other dried fruits is black, we add them at the end. Because if we boil it too much, it changes its black color to sweet. That's why we add them at the end.

We add raisins, bird, raisins and dried pearls respectively and mix them. If the water has decreased, we add hot water and mix it. We cook for another 15 minutes.

In order to give flavor to our dessert, which is now thickened, we add the clove apple and cinnamon stick, which we dipped on the apple, and cook it for another 5 minutes with the lid closed.

And it finished! Finally, our dessert is ready. We take it off the stove and leave it at room temperature for 1 hour to rest. We open the lid of our rested dessert and read suras and prayers from the QURAN.

Our prayer has been said and now it's time to serve and distribute to neighbors!

We decorate the Ashuras we put in suitable containers with walnuts. Normally, a wide variety of decorations are made, but this year I made it plain this year because I wanted it to be simpler and more spiritual.

I distributed it to my neighbors. They all prayed a lot. May the prayers read and said be for all of us! May every day be filled with abundance and prosperity. I wish you all good luck and a good life.

Stay with love!
