Ingredients:
1 cup unhulled wheat
1/2 cup dried chickpeas
1/2 cup dried navy beans
1 grated apple
1 cup sugar or to taste
1/4 cup each: raisins, dried apricots, dried figs
Topping: walnuts, hazelnuts, pomegranate seeds
Directions:
Boil wheat 20 minutes, drain, wrap in towel, and let sit overnight. Separately soak chickpeas and beans overnight.
The next day, boil the beans and peas. In a separate pot, simmer wheat in enough water to cover the grains. When soft, manually mash wheat into paste without draining water. Add apple, drained beans and peas. Stir in sugar and dried fruit. Simmer 30 minutes more. Consistency should be like thick soup. Spoon into bowls, refrigerate. Pudding gels as it chills. Top with walnuts, hazelnuts, and pomegranate seeds as desired.
Servings: Serves eight.
