Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare the beans and grainsDrain the soaked white beans and chickpeas. In a large pot, combine the wheat berries, beans, and chickpeas with 8 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the beans and wheat are tender, about 45-60 minutes. Add more water if needed during cooking.
-
Cook the riceIn a separate small pot, cook the rice in 1 cup of water until tender and the water is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes. Set aside.
-
Add sweetener and spicesOnce the wheat and beans are tender, add the sugar, cinnamon, and cloves to the pot. Stir well until the sugar dissolves completely. Simmer for another 10 minutes.
-
Incorporate dried fruitsAdd the chopped dried apricots, raisins, and figs to the pot. Continue to simmer for about 15 minutes, until the fruits soften and plump up.
-
Combine everythingStir in the cooked rice and rose water. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. The pudding will thicken as it cools.
-
Add nutsOnce the pudding has cooled slightly but is still warm, gently fold in most of the walnuts, hazelnuts, and pistachios, reserving some for garnish.
-
Serve and garnishLadle the asure into individual serving bowls. Garnish with the reserved nuts, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and pomegranate seeds on top. Serve warm or chilled.
