Method

1. Boil the pre-soaked wheat in 1.5 liters of water until it is thoroughly softened and releases its starch. Boil the chickpeas and white beans in separate pots until tender, then drain.

   

2. Add the drained chickpeas and beans to the pot with the wheat and its cooking water. Simmer together for 15 minutes.

   

3. Chop the dried figs and boil them separately for 5 minutes, then drain to prevent darkening the pudding. Add the figs, chopped apricots, raisins, and orange zest to the main pot. Cook on low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens naturally.

   

4. Divide the hot pudding into bowls. Once it cools to room temperature, garnish with crushed walnuts, pomegranate seeds, and ground cinnamon before serving.
