About Assida

Cuisine Tunisienne describes assida bidha as a traditional Tunisian breakfast. This flour-based version combines a simple cooked cereal cream with butter, olive oil and a sweet finish.

Salt seasons the flour base, while butter supplies the dairy richness. Sugar is the selected topping, and olive oil accompanies the porridge in its serving bowl.

The finished assida has a smooth, thick cream texture. It is presented with a small well in the centre holding the butter and sugar.
