Foods having the same cooking time can, of course, be placed in one bowl, but all others should be separated. Cut everything that is to be cut, measure out seasonings, and blend together whatever needs to be mixed. Most of this can be done ahead of time, and separate little piles of food can be kept at-the-ready in the refrigerator.

The program was terminated in 2003 – the same year that Iraq was invaded by a U.S. led coalition. In 2006, traditional Iraqi breakfasts remain a rarely mentioned casualty of war. Under the regime of Saddam Hussein, breakfast had already been in danger. During the last five years of his rein, it was reported that 400,000 Iraqi…
