JIBEN U BASAL

Jiben u Basal is a simple traditional dish commonly eaten for breakfast in Iraq, especially during the cold winter months. It is made by slowly boiling onions until they become soft and sweet, then adding braided cheese that melts into the broth. The result is a warm, comforting, and lightly savory meal that is often enjoyed with fresh bread like pita or Samon
