Cómo preparar Savoury Moroccan Pie
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, onions, garlic, ginger, turmeric, cumin, coriander, saffron, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes (or longer for deeper flavor).
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken mixture and cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- While the chicken cooks, prepare the phyllo pastry. If using frozen, thaw according to package directions. Lightly brush each sheet with melted butter.
- Layer half of the phyllo sheets in a 9-inch tart pan or oven-safe dish, overlapping slightly. Brush each layer with melted butter.
- Spread the cooled chicken mixture evenly over the phyllo pastry.
- Top with the remaining phyllo sheets, brushing each layer with melted butter.
- Trim any overhanging pastry and tuck in the edges.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sugar-cinnamon topping by mixing the sugar and cinnamon together.
- Remove the pastilla from the oven and sprinkle generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with toasted almonds (optional).
- Serve warm and enjoy!
