Chicken bastilla is Morocco's famous rendition of a savory pie, and it simply doesn't get better than this. Traditionally pigeons were the birds of choice, but here chicken is cooked with saffron, ginger, pepper and cinnamon, then layered within crispy warqa pastry with an herb-laden omelet and and fried almonds scented with orange flower water. An utterly amazing fusion of flavors and textures.
If sweet and savory is not your thing, then be sure to seek out a spicy Moroccan seafood bastilla.
