If you ever decide to make a labor intensive Moroccan recipe using phyllo dough, don’t pick the easier recipe. Go directly to the complex, more authentic one. I made a b’stilla again last night, and oh my god, it was delicious.
Chicken simmered with onion, garlic, ginger, pepper and ras el hanout is shredded and combined with egg, parsley(fresh from Junkiegirl’s garden), cilantro (fresh from my garden) and lemon juice and layered with almond sugar then baked in phyllo dough. It was amazing. Even the Fiendling ate it.

I googled b’stilla, looked at the recipe and many pictures, and I have to ask! Is it sweet? Dessert-ish? Or, does the cinnamon and sugar kinda work itself out with the other ingredients? You gotta get back to me on this one, Girlfiend. It sounds delicious.
