How to make Bastila Moroccan Pie
1. First of all, preheat the oven to 160 degrees. Wash and dry the chicken, cut into slices. Chop the onion and herbs. Heat the olive oil in a heatproof saucepan. Place onion, chicken, herbs. Add salt, pepper, saffron, turmeric and ginger. Fry for 15 minutes over medium heat.
2. After pouring in about a glass of water, send to the oven and simmer for about an hour until soft. Remove the finished chicken, and put a spoonful of honey and a couple of tablespoons of powdered sugar in a saucepan. Stir and leave in the oven for another 30-40 minutes, so that the onion and herbs are well browned. Cool the chicken and peel it.
3. Grind the almonds in a blender. Fry the scrambled eggs in a skillet with a little butter. Here is a set of ingredients for the filling in the Moroccan Bastila pie.
4. Melt the remaining butter. Lubricate the sheets of dough with it and lay out in the form. 2-3 will be enough. Then lay out the filling in layers: chicken, caramelized onions, eggs, almonds. Fold the top over with the edges of the dough.
5. Carefully turn the collected cake over. Grease the dough well melted with butter and whipped yolk, then put in a mold. Bake at 200 degrees until golden brown.
6. This small cake takes about 25 minutes to bake. Cool slightly before serving and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Enjoy your meal!
