Frequently Asked Questions About Oil-free ashure

What is oil-free ashure?

Oil-free ashure is a Turkish pudding made by simmering wheat, legumes, dried fruit and other ingredients without adding oil. It is usually served chilled or at room temperature, with toppings such as cinnamon, nuts or pomegranate.

Is oil-free ashure the same as Noah’s pudding?

Yes, ashure is commonly known in English as Noah’s pudding. The name refers to a traditional Turkish dessert of grains, legumes and dried fruit; recipes vary, and oil is not essential to making it.

Which wheat should I use for oil-free ashure?

Use hulled wheat sold as aşurelik wheat or wheat berries for oil-free ashure. These grains hold their shape while releasing starch into the cooking liquid; cracked wheat cooks differently and will give the pudding a less traditional texture.

Can you make oil-free ashure without sugar?

Yes, oil-free ashure can be made without added sugar, since dried fruits contribute natural sweetness. The result will taste less sweet than many traditional versions; taste the cooked mixture before serving and adjust the fruit or sweetener to suit.

Why is my oil-free ashure watery?

Oil-free ashure is often watery because it has not simmered long enough for the wheat to release starch, or because it has too much cooking liquid. Simmer it uncovered to reduce the liquid, remembering that it thickens further as it cools.

Can oil-free ashure be served warm?

Yes, oil-free ashure can be served warm, although it is commonly served chilled or at room temperature. Warm ashure is looser, so let it cool slightly if you want the grains and fruit to settle into a thicker pudding.

Should I soak dried fruit before adding it to oil-free ashure?

Soaking dried fruit is optional when making oil-free ashure. Briefly soaking especially dry fruit softens it and helps remove surface debris; drain it before adding so it does not make the pudding unexpectedly watery.

Can oil-free ashure be made without beans?

Yes, you can leave beans out of oil-free ashure, but the pudding will have a different texture and will be less representative of many traditional recipes. Keep the wheat and other ingredients well cooked, and adjust the liquid as needed.

Does oil-free ashure need oil to thicken?

No, oil-free ashure does not need oil to thicken. The wheat releases starch as it cooks, which thickens the liquid; cooling the pudding makes it firmer still. Simmer it uncovered if it remains too thin.

Why is ashure prepared during Muharram?

Ashure is traditionally prepared and shared during Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar. In Turkey, making a large batch to offer to neighbors and family is an important custom; ingredients and recipes differ between households.

What is Oil-free ashure?

Oil-free ashure is a Turkish version of ashure, a spoonable dessert cooked with grains, legumes and dried fruit, without added oil. Recipes vary by household, but the mixture is usually thick and hearty, with sweetness and texture coming from its fruit and other ingredients.

In Turkey, ashure is commonly served cool or at room temperature, often topped with cinnamon, nuts or pomegranate seeds. It is especially associated with sharing bowls with neighbours and family during the month of Muharram, though people make it at other times too. Oil-free ashure is mainly a carbohydrate-rich dessert, with some fibre and plant protein. It can suit vegan diets; for a lighter serving, keep the portion modest and go easy on rich toppings.
