Individual B'stillas (Moroccan Chicken and Almond Pies)
The traditional b'stilla is an enormous pigeon or chicken pie wrapped in golden paper-thin pastry leaves. However, we made individual pies for ease of serving. The idea of meat mixed with spices and encased in pastry was brought to Morocco by Arabs from the Middle East; the delicate pastry sheets, it is thought, came specifically from Persia.
Spices play a big part in Moroccan cooking. This legendary spice mixture is translated as "top of the shop."
