Arabian Ashoura
 
1/2 c. whole wheat kernels (use soft white wheat if you can find it)
1 1/3 c. canned or rich milk
1/2 c. sugar
pinch of salt
1 tsp. vanilla
a few raisins and chopped almonds
 
Wash the wheat and boil in 2 c. water for 1 hour.  Let rest overnight,
then simmer the next day until until very soft, adding more water
if necessary (2-3 hours total).  Add milk and simmer over low heat
for 30 minutes.  Stir frequently.  Add sugar and stir 5 minutes
more.

Remove from heat, add vanilla, and serve warm in small dishes.
Sprinkle each bowl with a few raisins and chopped almonds, or pine
nuts.
 
This is an Arab whole wheat pudding that's good for breakfast.
