There’s nothing better to start off the day than this combination of two dishes and the Afghani bread called tamees. For my family every Friday was fuul and adas morning, and I’d dutifully drive 15 minutes to our preferred fuul and adas shop.
So what are fuul and adas? Fuul is well-known around the region as a staple dish of Egypt and Sudan. At its most basic fuul is cooked and mashed fava beans which are left to stew, to which olive oil, onions, garlic, lemon juice and chilies are added. Some shops will flavour the dish according to their own personal tastes, and it’s not uncommon to find items like egg being sprinkled on top as well.
And then, there’s adas. Literally speaking, adas is lentils. The method used to cook and prepare fuul is used for adas, and likewise the dish is also garnished with chilies, shatta (spicy chili sauce) and other delights.

Both are spooned into white plastic containers and served with an additional helping of whole, small and fiery green chilies, lemons or limes and onion pieces (ed: don’t think of going to a fuul and adas shop on a date).
What I enjoy the most (apart from the eating) is watching the bread being made. There is always a tanoor bread shop alongside a fuul and adas restaurant, and these places dispense dozens of flat, round tamees breads every couple of minutes. The dough is prepared beforehand, stretched out, sprinkled with water and then stuck to the oven wall. The dough only takes about 45 seconds to cook and it’s wonderfully fluffy on the edges and yet crisp in the center.
Be warned however. Once you eat fuul and adas there is no going back. You’ll need at least half a day to digest the stuff, and you’ll need to wash everything down with some laban or a fizzy drink. And the cost? Between five to ten Saudi Riyals for one container of fuul and adas and a couple of tamees breads. The breakfast of champions which is eaten by all in Saudi.In Saudi Arabia, this bread is referred to as tameez, in Palestine taboon and in Iran tandoor. This bread is typically made inside of a brick oven which is heated by hot coals. When the bread is ready to cook they just smack it up against the wall which it sticks to and cooks. These same ovens are also what kabobs are cooked in. My little one loves this bread and can eat an entire piece all by himself so I tend to make it at home during the week when my husband is not around to buy it for us.
The Holy Bread Of Padre Pio?
Tameez is typically eaten with foul, kiri cheese or lentils and is extremely cheap around sr1-2 which is the equivalent of 25 or 50 cents. Not only is it cheap, but it tastes great so a lot of people will have this for a late night snack especially during Ramadan. When I first started trying to make this bread at home it was difficult and never came out the way that I wanted, but I have since learned a new trick that I have to say is a must for preparing this at home.
You will need to make what I call a hot box. I use an small electric oven that I bought from here. I turn the heat up as high as it will go, place the tray all the way to the bottom rack and take an iron skillet and place it on the tray upside down. Allow everything to get hot for at least 15 minutes and when you’re ready place the bread on the skillet bottom and allow to cook. It will be bubbly and brown on the top, you will know. It does not take that long, maybe 5 minutes, so stay near the oven and watch it.
