Turkish food story
Ashure(in Turkish: Aure) orNoah's Pudding is a
Turkishdessertthat is made of a mixture
consisting ofgrains,fruitsandnuts. It is served during the first
month of theIslamic
calendar,Muharrem, on the Tenth of Muharrem, or theDay of
Ashure. "Ashura" means
"tenth" in Arabic. Ashure is part of the culinary traditionof
Turkey as well as many of the
surrounding countries, and Christian and Jewish cultures as well
as Muslim share similar
versions under a variety of names.
In anecdotal history, it is claimed that when Noah's Ark came to
rest onMount Araratin
northeasternTurkey,Noah's familycelebrated with a special dish.
Since their supplies were
nearly exhausted, what was left (primarily grains, dried fruits
and the like) was cooked
togetherto form apudding, what is now call Ashure. The Day of
Ashure is an important day
in the Muslim year, corresponding to theMosaicYom Kippur
observed by Jews, and is
observed by Muslims world over in honor of the prophet Moses.The
Tenth of MuharremDayof Ashuraalso marks the end of the Battle of
Karbala and is a special day of observance
inShia Islam. Among Turkish and Balkan Sufis
(especiallyBektashi), the ashure pudding is
prepared with special prayers for health, healing, safety,
success and spiritual nourishment.
Ashure stands unique among other Turkish desserts as it contains
no animal products. One
reason behind it is arguably protesting all kinds of violence
and bloodshed.Alevitesin Turkey
are the prominent group to promote this dessert and they
traditionally cook and share
ashure following the days of fasting (coinciding Battle of
Karbala ) in which they abstain
meat. In Battle of Karbala, Hussein ibn Ali and his followers
are murdered.
Traditionally, Ashure is made in large quantities to commemorate
the ark's landing and is
distributed tofriends, relatives, neighbors, colleagues,
classmates, etc. without regard to the
recipient's religion or belief system as an offering
ofpeaceandlove. Ashure was traditionally
made and eaten during the colder months of the year as it is
calorie rich fare, but now it is
enjoyed year-round.
