Zubereitung von Basteeya Moroccan Chicken Pie
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Stir in the turmeric, cumin, cinnamon, saffron, and salt. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the almond filling: In a bowl, combine the toasted almonds, sugar, cinnamon, and orange blossom water.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and shred the meat. Add the shredded chicken to the almond mixture.
- Lightly brush a 9-inch pie dish with melted butter. Layer half of the phyllo sheets in the dish, brushing each sheet with melted butter. Overlap the edges to create a crust.
- Spoon the chicken and almond mixture into the phyllo crust.
- Top with the remaining phyllo sheets, brushing each with melted butter.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
- Let the basteeya cool slightly before slicing and serving. Garnish with powdered sugar and chopped cilantro (optional).
