Large Pistilla

The Moroccan large Pastilla is a traditional and elegant pie that blends sweet and savory flavors in a unique and delicious way. Typically made with layers of thin warqa pastry, it’s filled with tender shredded chicken or pigeon, spiced with saffron, ginger, and cinnamon, mixed with eggs, and combined with sweetened, crunchy almonds. Once baked to a golden crisp, it’s topped with powdered sugar and cinnamon, creating a rich contrast of textures and tastes.
