What is Pastilla?
Pastilla, a tantalizing pie from Morocco, combines sweet and savory flavors with a delightful contrast in textures. Traditionally, this dish is made using pigeon meat, but chicken is often used as a modern substitute. Layers of delicate warqa pastry envelop this sensational filling, dusted with sugar and cinnamon for that characteristic finish.
