Iraqi BREAKFAST FOOD TOUR! Kebab and Ash KINGS of Najaf IRAQ!

BIL WEEKEND: https://www.instagram.com/bilweekend/ | https://bilweekend.com/ TASOS: https://www.instagram.com/agreeksolo VISIT MY TRAVEL BLOG: https://davidsbeenhere.com/ With another morning in beautiful Iraq ahead of me, I set out to have a tasty Iraqi breakfast before exploring the largest cemetery in the world! My guides Jafar and Ali from Bil Weekend, my friend Tasos, and I started at a restaurant in Najaf that sells beef and lamb kebabs. Some of the kebabs are a mix of the two meats!

Then, we watched them bake some khubz bread in the tanoor oven. It all looked so good! The kebabs came with some charred onions, tomatoes, and a wedge of lemon. Jafar showed me how to make a sandwich with all of the ingredients, with some sumac sprinkled on top. The sumac was a vibrant purple color. Everything combined was so flavorful and smoky. I loved the fresh burst of juiciness from the tomato! I also loved the chicken shorba, which is a thick chicken soup. We also had hummus and an assortment of vegetable dishes, including some purple cabbage and baytinijan. I loved the hummus with the kebab! But we still had more breakfast spots to hit up! At our next spot, we’d have some ash and hareesa. Ash is a thick stew made from grains, monk peas, cow peas, and beef. Hareesa is made from wheat and beef, and they add cinnamon to it! The ash is a dark, rich brown color, while the hareesa is pale in color, similar to hummus. They both cook for about 12 hours.
