Ashure, aşure, anoushabour, anoushabur, '''Noah's pudding or trigo koço''' is a sweet pudding that is made of a mixture consisting of various types of grains, fresh and dried fruits, and nuts.

In the Balkans and Turkey, Muslims make the dish during the month of Muharram in which the Day of Ashura takes place. Armenians make it as a Christmas pudding and for New Year's celebrations, where it is a centerpiece, Sephardic Jews prepare the dish to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Tu BiShvat. In some Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions, a similar dish is prepared to commemorate a child's first tooth, or the passing of a family member.
