Chicken and Almond Pastilla

Chicken and Almond Pastilla

The chicken and almond pastilla is one of the most refined dishes of Moroccan cuisine, often called 'bastila' depending on the region. It's a festive dish that combines the crispiness of brick pastry, the tenderness of spiced chicken, the crunch of almonds and a sweet veil of icing sugar and cinnamon. For an authentic pastilla, the key spices are cinnamon, ginger, turmeric and saffron – a blend that gives all its character to the filling.
