🇦🇱❤️ NEW RECIPE: Albanian NOAH’S ARK PUDDING (HASHURE)❤️🇦🇱
Happy Monday friends 💜 I came across this dessert that has some fascinating history; it’s said to be the oldest dessert in the world. Legend has it that this dish was made by Noah himself, as the waters receded around the Ark, he used the last grains of wheat, dried fruit, along with sugar and cooked it all in a large pot. Today in Albania it is shared as a symbol of community, generosity, and abundance.
HASHURE is a pudding made with farro, dried figs and walnuts. I followed the recipe from @mediterranean_latin_love, thank you to Sonila for such an accessible recipe🙏. Here’s how it comes together:
Soaked farro (two cups) is cooked in water with two cinnamon sticks for 25 mins. The sticks are removed and half a cup (or to your taste) of sugar is added and stirred through, then two cups of dried chopped figs are added along with cloves and then cooked for 5 mins. A corn starch slurry is then added to thicken the pudding and stirred through. Then, once cooled a little it’s ladled into bowls, and topped with cinnamon, and chopped walnuts. It’s then refrigerated for a couple of hours and enjoyed. (I added a couple of other non- traditional garnishes; a little toasted coconut and some dried edible rose petals to the top just before serving just because it looks pretty🌹😍)
It reminded me of rice pudding, but with a more exotic, spiced flavour. It was something completely new to me, and such a lovely way to discover a traditional Albanian dessert!
As always, thanks to this beautiful community for following along and for all your kindness. It truly means a lot. Julie xx
