ASURE

Asure is a traditional dessert of Turkey. Turkish people make this dessert for a special month. It has got an old story.
Prophet Nuh made a ship for rescuing his people from the big flood. People could only bring one type of food. They didn't make meals from one type of food because ther wasn't enough of one type for all of them. So they put all types of food together: chick peas, walnuts, figs, apricots etc. and made a meal for themselves.
Turkish people make this dessert to remember the Prophet and his people. When they make Asure they share it with their neighbours.
Here is a recipe for Asure.
