Soak the dried beans in lukewarm water for a whole day.

Boil the soaked beans for an hour and a half, then leave them in hot water for two hours.

Peel the beans and place them in a plate, making sure not to throw away the excess water.

Cut the bread (preferably light Iraqi bread) and soak it in the bean water slightly to avoid it becoming doughy.

Transfer the fat free to a pan and heat until it boils well.

Place the soaked bread in a dish and top with the peeled beans.

Pour the hot fat free over the bread and beans, listening for the sound of the bread as a sign that the dish is ready.

Fry the eggs slightly in the pan, turn them over, and place them directly on top of the bread and beans dish.

Squeeze lemon over the dish and sprinkle with ground dry mint (tanj), then serve with onions.
