Anoushabour
Also known as: Anush Abur, Անուշապուր
Armenian wheat pudding with fruit, nuts and cinnamon.
About Anoushabour
Joy Callan’s anoush abour appears in an Armenian heritage cookbook and is shared by The Armenian Kitchen for Christmas. The pudding combines skinless whole wheat with fruit and nuts.
Sugar sweetens the wheat, with apricots and golden raisins contributing fruit flavour. Pistachios and pine nuts accompany the pudding, while cinnamon adds its aromatic note.
The wheat forms a thickened, pearly pudding beneath a garnish of hazelnuts, almonds, toasted walnuts and pomegranate seeds. The contrasting nuts and fruit give the serving bowl varied textures and colour.
